McKenna Cup 2024

[Armagh18]

Anyone have a wide count for Armagh last night?  For me, it must have been minimal as most shots seemed to be on target.  Not a lot to be gained from such a game other than a run out, and a decent crowd of over 4000 in attendance.  As said above, Soupy looking sharp, was all over the field.

That stand looked 80% full, was there anyone over the other side?

Biggest crowd we'll face this year! Few shots dropped into keepers hands, but as you say on target for most, score wise the second half was better from our point of view but it is what it is

think around 4.5k

Down will cause a few shocks this year

Many Kilcoo boys involved?

Well they were certainly shocking last year.

4510 to be official, which is pretty decent for a Wednesday night. I wonder how many streamed it? The commentator wasn't the worst and of course Jimmy Smyth is gold.

That's some turn out!

best support in Ireland

Sure there could have been thousands of Antrim people there. Or maybe not.
I wonder how many season tickets were sold for Armagh this season?

Armagh bring a bring a big following to away games also. Cavan played Armagh last year in the McKenna Cup and it was snowing.
Armagh had a huge crowd there.

There was 20k at a Armagh v Tyrone McKenna Cup game when both teams were strong

Was at it, was rammed that day

I think that game plus the Armagh v Derry game the previous illustrated that there is a crowd in Belfast that could be attracted to Casement.
One wonders if they will ever have the opportunity.

We'd a challenge game that morning so we all got dropped off at Casement, we knew it was going to be a big crowd but it just (for that time of year) exceeded expectations

I suspect that if there had been sleet showers that the crowd would have been less.

Anyone put names on Armaghs 5 & 17 and Tyrone's 4 & 25 ?
