McKenna Cup 2024

[rodney trotter]

I think Cavan is the only county yet to name a squad for the mckenna cup..

Is that David Millar who was on monaghan u21s panel last year?

Down (Dr McKenna Cup squad): Brendan McVeigh, Damian Turley, Daniel McCartan, Dan Gordon, Daniel McCartan, Niall Brannigan, Kevin Duffin, Conor Garvey, Brendan McArdle, Mark Doran, Darren O'Hagan, Peter Turley, Conor Gough, Kalum King, Ambrose Rogers, Aidan Carr, Daniel Hughes, Niall McParland, Arthur McConville, Benny Coulter, Conor Laverty, Eoin McCartan, Paul McComiskey, Marcus Miskelly.

I am a bit disappointed Phillip Bonny isn't there, thought he showed well last year. No sign of the Aiden Brannigan, Polands, Liam Doyle or McGinn. Are they injured or just being rested? Also several defenders missing, Rafferty and McKernan are fit so I guess they are being rested, I don't think Rooney is fit is he?

Yeah, that's him alright. He's been on U-21 team for the past two years. To be honest I don't think he's up to senior standard. I know Dessie Mone is with UUJ this year for McKenna Cup, Dick Clerkin will be on honeymoon, Conor McManus is injuried. Colin Walsh is with DIT, Jack McCarron is with DCU. Is Neil McAdam still with DCU this year? David Hughes with DIT?
I hope Kieran Hughes and Gavin Doogan return for NFL panel.

After been told that St. Mary's v Armagh will be played in Crossmaglen and so will the Armagh v Fermanagh game aswell.

Armagh and Fermanagh are in different groups. Must be the Monaghan game you're on about.

Has it been confirmed yet about matches moving to Crossmaglen?

Probably not naming a panel because they know the ruptions that they are going to cause when its official that Seanie Johnston isn't on it along with some others.

Thought Inniskeen or Crossmaglen would have got a game but it just shows you what Ulster Council think.

North and Mid Armagh fans have had to travel to Cross for years. There hasnt been any matches in North armagh for years either. Now we have a fantastic ground in the Cathedral city and it's handy for everyone in the county.

I was at the Armag v Queens match a couple years back. Plus Davitt has been getting redeveloped the last year and a bit or so (Clans posters can correct me?) that has ruled it out.

There was a game against (possibly) Derry in Lurgan as well. I think it was 2008 as it was on tg4 and I think it was Peter McDonnell's first match in charge.

I think you're right,  was that the match Enda Lynn had a bit of a stormer against us?

I also think your clubman McCreesh was playing that day, how is he doing now, is he still playing? Two McCreeshs on that day - Paudie and Gerard I think.

Armagh`s home games are at The Morgan Athletic Grounds. This was in yesterdays Irish News.

[Onion Bag]

Any word on an Armagh panel yet, everyone else has announced theirs?

Is Rory Grugan injured or unavailable? He really impressed me last season.

[AFS]

Grugan has a shoulder injury. Apparently out until April. Could be a big miss for the u21s in particular.
