Not really but challenge games gives you chance to play on your own times agreed between the teams and you can play teams from other provinces although you wouldnt want to be travelling far this time year.
Would the challenge matches be closed to spectators, pay at the gate-first come first served or all ticket?

get rid of mckenna cup o byne cup etc and just have a three week period where you can arrange challenge matches

Is there much difference in pre season tournaments and challenge games ?
you don't get to charge a tenner into challenge games. This is the problem, Ulster council don't want to give up the cash they squeeze out of this Mickey mouse 'competition.'

Bonner must have really got inside Tyrone heads, Ronan McNamee has now made a statement as well as Harte. What's going on? Do Tyrone think this has devalued their treasured McKenna Cup titles?

Bonner embarrassed himself and his county. He has made himself look like a big baby.

I like the McKenna Cup as it let's young fellas get a run out - Turbitt for Armagh had a great couple of matches. I am disappointed Donegal didn't field. I seem to remember Armagh playing a McKenna Cup final a week before a national league final or semi final. They gave a few club players a run out and they acquitted themselves well. Think it was the time beefer and McCorry were managers.
On saying that the recent Armagh v Tyrone game - although described as a thriller in reports - wasnt played with much intensity.  As usual Tyrone were fit, sharp and focussed.  Armagh  seemed to start as if it was a challenge match and only started competing when it looked as if Tyrone would run away with it.

Is Jamie Clarke playing with Armagh this year? He's based in London, so will he fly over and back?

Armagh could fly over Aubameyang and Tammy Abraham with him but they will still be dung!  ;D

Carbery

Did Tyrone mentor Gavin Devlin get his 6 month suspension lifted as it would not expire until early March?
He initially got a 24 week suspension imposed from date of hearing.
Irish News reported as follows:-

TYRONE assistant-manager Gavin Devlin could miss the Dr McKenna Cup and the opening rounds of the Red Hand county's Division One campaign after he was suspended for 24 weeks following an incident which took place at a National U15 Academy Tournament match between Tyrone and Down on July 27.

The Ardboe native was charged with an alleged breach of Rule 7.2 (d): "Disruptive Conduct by a supporter (not causing the Premature Termination of a game)" and requested a hearing on Monday.

At the hearing his offence was deemed to be "proven" and the GAA's Central Competitions Control Committee imposed a 24-week ban which will run from the date of the hearing, not the date of his alleged offence.

Devlin has the option of appealing against the decision but if it stands he could be suspended until March 9 which would rule him out of Tyrone's defence of their Dr McKenna Cup title and the early stages of the National Football League – the 2020 fixtures have yet to be released but in 2019 five rounds had been played by March 3.
