McKenna Cup 2024

[orange]

Armagh team for Sunday

Geoghan
McConville Donaghy Murray
Shields Finn McKeever
Findon Campbell
Forker McKenna McVerry
MacOimhair Rafferty McParland

Think only Mark McConville and Micheal McKenna making debuts.

Which Forker is that starting?

Armagh taking this very seriously.

Lol, u getting the cry in early?  Cant see any of that forward line being there come May, and Campbell wont be doing midfield either, not many of that back line will feature either. Very experimental team but hope few new boys get experience of playing against the masters of the Mckenna Cup! Doubt it will be very entertaining,  packed defences and a crap referee, but at least Jamies not playing for mcquillan to book! Tyrone to retain the prestigious competition for the 45th time ir watever!

Why does Harte treat this competition as though it is championship every year? Seems to field his strongest team every year when available, is he letting the students play for their college this year?

Are any of McKenna games being streamed, either audio or video?

Obviously as you know everything - you'll know that Noel Mooney is reffing the game and not Joe McQuillan.

They are bloody friendlies !

Armagh TV streamed a good few last year so it is a valid question

Correct (as of this evening) well he cudnt be any worse than Joe, so fingers crossed! Mickey interviewed this evening, he really paints himself as the saviour of the mckenna cup! Always great at pushing his own agenda!

I think we got to see a new level of mental and physical toughness in Armagh football last summer. Mc geeneys morale will have taken an almighty battering since then. First Grimley walked, obviously had enough of the whole set up. Then disillusioned  key servants and unbelieving young talents retiring. Rumours of scandalous training hours making important national press amid fears of moles in the camp and to add insult to injury previous proud captain ciaran Mc keeper refusing to wear any Armagh colours at the launch of the Mc Kenna cup. I like mc geeney and just hope he can hold this rabble together. Expect a candid clear the air interview with paddy heaney before the mc Kenna cup is over.

Mcgeeney will be delighted to know you've got his back! Although I think Mickey may be more in need of your shoulder, after sacking Tony and Fergal, then penrose, gormley and SON jumping like rats from the ship, and even the sponsors didn't want to have anything to do with him! Pity Tyrone dont have strong minded men running their affairs and they may realise his time is up and get fresh managment in, sorry even a strong woman!!!!

Anyway hoping for a competitive game tomorrow, anything less than a 15pt defeat will be progress from last year!

Don't even know where to start. McGeeneys morale battered, do me a favour. Grimley was minding the seat for McGeeney, common knowledge. Who are the unbelievable young talents that retired, news to me?? McKeever not wearing colours to a McKenna cup launch, who gives a shit. As for Heaney its a while since Armagh give him the time of day and knowing McGeeneys reluctance to embrace the media this won't change anytime soon. I just hope Tyrone can win their 12th McKenna cup in a row to save Hartes job for another year, fast becoming the Arsene Wenger of Gaelic football.

Tyrone winning so far.

Monaghan hold off Jordanstown in Dr McKenna Cup opener


Monaghan survived a late comeback from Ulster University Jordanstown to record a 0-20 to 2-10 victory in their opening round Dr McKenna Cup tie on Saturday.
Malachy O'Rourke's team looked to be coasting when they led by 0-17 to 0-8 with 10 minutes left in Castleblayney.
But two goals in three minutes from Derry forward Caolan O'Boyle helped the students cut the deficit to two points.
However Daniel McKenna and newcomer Brendan McElroy eased the home side's nerves with late points.
Monaghan's full-forward line of Daniel McKenna, Brendan McElroy and Christopher McKenna hit 15 points between them while Tyrone's Ronan O'Neill and Liam Gervin were among the scorers for the students.
Monaghan led by 0-9 to 0-5 at half time with Thomas Kerr and Fintan Kelly registering points for the 2013 Ulster champions.
They stretched their lead further and the game looked to be over when two Daniel McKenna frees put them 0-17 to 0-8 ahead.
Caolan O'Boyle scored what looked a consolation goal for UU when he toe-poked home a rebound after Monaghan goalkeeper Enda Duffy saved the initial shot.
The Derry forward hit another goal two minutes later and Timmy Miskella added a point as UU scored 2-1 in a three minute spell, before a couple of late Monaghan points gave the home side the points.
Elsewhere in Section A, Down will host Cavan at Pairc Esler on Sunday.
