McKenna Cup 2024

[never kickt a ball]

"Fermanagh made us work hard for the points,'' Mickey Harte
13 February 2007
Tyrone boss Mickey Harte was delighted with the win over their near-neighbours, Fermanagh in the second round of the NFL Division 1A at Healy Park, Omagh under lights on Saturday 10th February. However, he admitted that they had to battle hard for the win, saying that the scoreline flattered his side at the finish.
"It was anyone's game up to the last five minutes. We had to work hard for every score, and over the hour Fermanagh put plenty of pressure on us, just what you would expect in a local derby clash.''
Harte said that he was delighted with the attitude of his players once again. He however, pledged to continue with the process of experimentation for to-morrow (Tuesday) evenings clash with Monaghan in the second semi-final of the Dr. McKenna Cup with Monaghan in Kingspan/Breffni Park, Cavan at 7.30 p.m.
"We are trying to give all the players who have been training with the squad some match time, while at the same time trying to get results,'' he said.
"It's not easy to get the balance right, but we are doing our best, and we will certainly try out some new players on Tuesday night against Monaghan to give them a chance of competitive football. At the same time we want to reach the McKenna Cup final and are up against a Monaghan side who have got into the habit of winning games, and will fancy their chances on this occasion. It should be an interesting clash, and we will learn more about the strength of our panel after this encounter,'' added Harte.

Nobody seems to know for sure where the final is on if its Tyrone v Donegal.

Does Celtic park not have floodlights?

A Tyrone fan overconfident? Never.

Whats the team for tionight, any boarders going..

[Over the Bar]

Its a hard route to 4-in-a-row for Tyrone as Monaghan will be out to avenge last years defeat while Donegal will want to avenge the mauling they got in Ballybofey in 2004.    That said you just can't beat games like this to let the new lads get some real early-season action.

Any possible radio commentary for those exiled or banished?

Was listening to Northern Sound there and I think he said there'll be commentary from 7.30 though I may be mistaken as he had a Mexican accent.
