McKenna Cup 2024

martin penrose was a good tackler imo

I'd say McGeeney is teaching the lads all sorts of mma tricks.
How to kill a man without touching him etc.

Did McGeeny actually say "the pen is mightier than the sword"?

Clarke @ #7? McGeeney did say he wants Clarke to appreciate what its like further out the field and experience how the ball gets played into him. Interesting

no harm to McGeeney but that is one the most ridiculous things / ideas I've heard a manager say / implement. Playing Clarke in a defensive / providing role, especially as he'll, 100% be playing as a forward come championship time is a waste of time. A halfback with the strength and skills to tackle and win turn over ball, as well as reading the situation as an attack starts  surely merits game time in this position in the lead up to the league. Its actually more mad than Harte playing Penrose as a defender for 5 (maybe more) odd years...the mind blows!

Maybe that's why your not a manager or coach?

no.....Armaghs 1 rolls royce forward being played in defence. Shouldnt be asking me about my managerial credentails, ask McGeeney

Skeog, Penrose blindly slapped at the ball using alternative hands as quick as he could ie couldnt tackle for sugar

McKenna Cup: Cavan 0-10 1-08 Ulster University
Ulster University recorded a surprise one-point victory over Cavan in the McKenna Cup on Saturday to boost their chances of a place in the semi-finals.
Mayo forward Cillian O'Connor was named man of the match after hitting 1-4 including a penalty in the 16th minute.
The students did the damage in the first half of the Section A match, reeling off 1-5 without reply.

Tyrone star Ronan O'Neill landed two points, with former Tyrone minor Frank Burns also on the scoresheet in the first quarter as UU went 0-4 to 0-2 ahead.
O'Connor converted a penalty for UU in the 16th minute and then tagged on a free as the students coasted to a 1-5 to 0-2 lead after 19 minutes.
Frees from Enda and Martin Reilly stopped the rot for Cavan, but a Liam Gervin point gave UU a 1-6 to 0-5 lead at half-time.
Enda and Martin Reilly's accuracy from placed balls reduced UU's advantage to a single point before Cillian O'Connor's free settled the students midway through the second half.
With the snow beginning to fall, Martin Reilly and Jack Brady converted frees to bring Cavan to within a point, 1-8 to 0-10, with four minutes remaining.
