McKenna Cup 2024

[PAULD123]

Both Down and Armagh have lined up reserve teams. We will learn little tomorrow about who is the better championship team but I hope at least the players serve up a good entertaining game. Lets hope we can have a night of good football and take it as a fun local derby and a chance to see some rising potential, even though it is now effectively meaningless.

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?

Armagh team, not expecting much with that line up.

Geoghan, Conlon, Vernon, McKenna, D Lavery, A Mallon, Shields, McDonnell, Duffy, A Forker, B Mallon, Swift, Campbell, BJ Padden, McVerry

Good to see CV given a chance a full back, hopefully he takes his opportunity as this could be a position for him (Donaghy could easily play elsewhere). Good luck to all the debutants and hopefully Anto Duffy shows up well at midfield

Armagh minor from last year Connor Gough starting in midfield for Down tomorrow. Be interesting to see how he gets on.

[Oraisteach]

pearseog, what is Gough's background? School, club, home?  Thanks.

Connor was playing midfield for armagh minors last year I think.

Connor Gough didnt play minor last year for Armagh that was his brother

Connor was playing midfield for armagh minors last year I think.

He played midfield for the minors in 2010. His brother Conall played as a forward for the minors in 2011. Several shit journalists have failed to differentiate between the two in recent stories.

Good to see Niall Geoghegan get a chance, good goalkeeper.

Inexperienced team but the potential to unearth a few gems is there. Really hoping McVerry can push on and show more of the potential we saw in 2009. His first half against Kildare that year was awesome
