Can anyone explain how 2 teams from the same group end up playing each other in the semifinal?

Karl mckaigue warmed up with Derry but was on the UUJ panel.
This is the McKenna cup, logic goes out the window.

Forgot about the failing 4 driving tests in a week, thanks for that! Gave me a good laugh.

Hope he declared the 3 grand for switching on Christmas lights to HMRC.

The draw was made in advance, winner of A v Winner of B and winner of C v Best runner up.

As Gerry Donnelly would say... even the McKenna's would think that was daft.

Was there an official attendance for Ard Mhacha v Muinechain last night?

[Itchy]

Is there tables somewhere for how the groups finished?

Think the sin bin worked again last night in Armagh.  Not sure why Thomas Kerr got his black card (may have blocked off a runner) and Armagh may only have reduced the gap by one in his absence but they did gain momentum and had the game level a few minutes after his return.  Kerr was also going well before the sin bin but couldn't get into the game on his return to the field and was subbed a short while later

What does bug me though is how on earth is a neck high challenge not a sin bin.  I noted 3 or 4 of these tackles and they were cynical also but I think 2 got yellow and 2 got a talking to.  I know this wasn't in the original criteria for a black card but players know it is the best way to get a yellow rather than a sin bin.  But it can be dangerous also.  Surely a 10 minute binning would be more punishment for this than a yellow??

I agree. The sin bin is a good idea, but it should definitely be a sinbin for a yellow also.
