It's Tyrone and Armagh that really care about the competition. Tyrone in particular.

Without checking I think it is over 25 years since Armagh won the McKenna Cup. Don't think they take it too serious at all. Now playing Tyrone in anything is a different matter.

Correct, I think it was maybe 1991 when Armagh last won it and I can't remember being in too many finals since. I do think Armagh will be competitive in it this year
Taking the competition somewhat seriously hasn't done any harm to Tyrone down through the years.

Good to have the football back and nice to start the season off with a decent win
A win is a win. But that was Cavan's second string out. IMO Armagh looked good going foward in the 1st half but defensively Armagh are all at sea. Cavan will definitely be targeting us for two points in first game of league. Hopefully we can shade!

Fully agree with you regarding the defence but Armagh have a lot of players to come back in also

What were the prices today?

A tenner/12 euro or you could buy a competition ticket for 18 quid/20 euro

That could be Cavan's first string. A lot of good lads gone.

McKiernan didn't start. I imagine he will be in the first 15 come the league

Congrats to Armagh, they were really up for that win.

Quick recovery. It was said elsewhere that McKiernan would miss the majority league due to injury.

That was the word alright, I wasn't expecting to see him tugged out.

Keep free next Sunday 5th Jan @2pm. The McKenna Cup team of the last decade and indeed current champions (Tyrone) take the field v Cavan at Healy Park, Omagh.

Did Donegal win with 13 men?

Armagh will fancy themselves on Wed night to set down a marker for the championship. They will also want to begin making up for 15 years of humiliation by the red hand!

Great to see Tyrone trying to build for the future today with mccrory at 3, coney at 11 and conal McCann at 14.

They had 5 debutants on the team. They need a bit of experience around them to help them settle in. Coney was very good at 11 and looks in very good shape for this time of year. Squads need players like McRory who give it their all and step in with needed. Like the Dublin super 8 game last year he didn't do much wrong and worked very hard.

Thought Rafferty was very good for Tyrone and Kilpatrick had a great debut. Grimes didn't do much wrong without standing out.

I see young kilpatrick was man of the match. What position does he play. Rafferty has always impressed me any time I've watched him
