McKenna Cup 2024

[JoG2]

Thought Derry looked comfortable for most of the game. The Cavan goal was probably a free out for Derry but McEvoy should have been stronger.

Thought we defended very well and Paul Cassidy Forbes and Declan Cassidy were good up front. Thought Baker showed well in defence for his first start and McGrogan and Doherty steady as usual.

Happy enough

Baker was excellent throughout, very assured. Some night for the Steelstown club, 4 playing and all 4 scored. Deccie Cassidy the pick of the bunch tonight, serious amount of possessions, couple of wayward passes but very positive throughout
€4 for a curry chip, another resolution bites the dust

Finbar Roarty lined out for Donegal tonight despite not yet having made a senior appearance for Naomh Chonaill!

Has that ever happened before?

He the wing back from last years minor team, if so, still abit young for this level.

Didn't some of the Armagh players also achieve this in game?

Hendron and Boylan who were on the bench where the same but didn't get minutes.

Armagh getting a tanking was not a surprise once the line ups became known.

The bigger question is how long do the GAA persist with a pre-season competition that counties have little interest in playing in what is already an overstacked calendar.

The point is that some counties think it useful in a given year and these might even vary from year to year.

So Donegal played an ineligible player?

How he ineligible player?

If he turns 18 this year he's ok.

Strange one by Armagh management to clash their challenge with the Donegal McKenna cup game.

Could somewhat understand that if a Connacht team did it as their pre-season competition games are played indoors and foreign to what is to come with the outdoor NFL games but Donegal under McGuinness was decent enough of a challenge than organising another one?

We play them next month in the league so better to try things out against a team we don't play .

Is Armagh playing Dublin this week in a friendly?

Armagh played Dublin last night in challenge game. Sent the U20s to fulfill the McKenna Cup fixture.
