McKenna Cup 2024

[Itchy]

Cavan were 6 up 15 mins into 2nd half, ended up 2 behind. Then went 2 up on 70 mins and managed to concede 5 points in 5 mins of injury time. Cavan will find a way to lose

Impressive enough from Armagh considering there's about 3 or 4 realistic championship starters on view. Oisin ONeill a clear MOTM I'd imagine, Cian McConville with a good showing, think a corner back Mcgrane from ballyhegan got 1.1. Good organisation and structure. Cowl night. 

Edit. Thought ref was excellent.

Entertaining enough game between Armagh and Tyrone. Too many cheap frees conceded by Tyrone and add in a pile of wides and clear goal chances missed and you won't win many games. That said, Armagh deserved the win based on the second half. Will be interesting to see how many of the Tyrone youngsters appear in the weeks and months ahead. Few of them had their moments without making a strong case for staying on the team.

Entertaining end to end game though. Down went 35 mins without scoring. And dropped at least 6 shots into keepers hands. Cavan had chances to win though. Ohare thr sweeper keeper for Down was really good.

This is very true. There were times when you thought some of the play was interesting, especially in the full forward line, but then they'd go out of the game or weren't that clinical. Think Tyrone had something like 10 wides and gave away 10 scoreable frees. Though, had Tyrone stolen it at the end it would not have been deserved. Armagh stretched Tyrone at the right times. Morgan probably Tyrone's MOTM.

Some has to be done about the O'Neill yard-grabbing phenomenon. Rian and now Oisin are masters at it. And the ref staring at it.

All free takers do it. Irritates the life out of me

Said it before on here. The white spray they use to mark free kicks in the soccer would cut it out in an instant.

All free takers are not just Armagh free takers

How are Derry away? Isn't it based on your finish position?

How did Armagh get through to the semi-final after the tanking by Donegal (who fielded an ineligible player)?

Just lucky.

The game was deemed void so they ended up on 2 points with a +1 point scoring difference after tonight's 1 point win. Down were on 2 points but 0 points score difference after losing by 3 to Derry and winning by 3 against Cavan.

And get treated to home advantage on top
