On here is the only place I have saw the 15th mentioned. Everywhere else says Tyrone play Fermanagh on Sunday 16th December. Haven't saw an official fixture yet or mention of a venue. You'd think if it's a home game for Tyrone they would have a bit of sense and not play it in Omagh.

I thought Derry are hosting Tyrone on Sunday 16th Dec

Is that where all the Tyrone and Derry workers on their Christmas do meet to have their festive punch up?

McKenna Cup: Lee Brennan rescues a 1-9 to 0-12 draw for UU against Fermanagh

Fermanagh's Conall Jones scored the only goal of the game
Lee Brennan scored five unanswered points for Ulster University to snatch a draw against Fermanagh in their opening game of the McKenna Cup.

The Tyrone forward led the visitors to an dramatic 1-9 to 0-12 draw.

Conall Jones' goal at the start of the second half had put the Ernesiders six points clear after an impressive first-half scoring display by Darragh McGurn.

Brennan's closing salvo sparked an unlikely UU recovery as Fermanagh faded in the difficult conditions.

Managers express reservations over rule changes
A good platform for the League

In the other game on the opening weekend of the McKenna Cup, Armagh will begin their campaign on Sunday when they host St Mary's at Crossmaglen.

"We've drawn really good opponents and it will give us a good platform for the League," said Armagh's Aidan Forker.

"We're in Division Two this year so it's another step up from where we were last year.

"You can train all you want but the games will help us see what stage we're at"

Donegal, who beat Tyrone last February to win their first McKenna Cup in eight years, will begin their title defence against Queens on 30 December at Ballybofey.

Brennan leads UU recovery

Trillick corner-forward Brennan got the opening score of the game for UU at Derrygonnelly but Rory Gallagher's Fermanagh side dominated the first half.

The powerful McGurn scored five points to give the home side the lead by 0-8 to 0-5 at the break although they had needed a fine save by goalkeeper Thomas Treacy to deny Cormac O'Hagan from scoring an early goal.

Minutes after the restart Jones flicked the ball into the net from Eoin Donnelly's pass and this year's beaten Ulster finalists seemed set to power clear.

But Fermanagh only managed one further point in the closing 28 minutes as Daniel Kerr and Steven Fegan added scores for UU before Brennan's closing fireworks.

Fermanagh: T Treacy; J Cassidy, T Daly, C McManus; K McDonnell, D McCusker, L Cullen; R Lyons, U Kelm; R O'Callaghan, R Jones, T Clarke; D Teague, C Jones, D McGurn.

Ulster University: T McConville; M Magee, M McKernan, S Fegan; D Gallagher, M McEvoy, P Durcan; T O'Brien, P Teague; N Donnelly, C O'Hagan, J Doherty; L Brennan, D Kerr, L Harney.

You'd have to say Armagh won't be far away in summer 2019.

Well, newry  is only down the road. Not that far away. After that, we might be far away depending who we get in Ulster/qualifiers.

LOL You say this after a McKenna Cup win against St.Marys? Reality is Armagh have yet to win an Ulster C'ship match under McGenney. Appalling record.
