McKenna Cup 2024

It's difficult to see any football being played this weekend, unless Armagh has somehow missed the worst of the blizzards. Hopefully there will be a Saturday inspection, with the option of a postponement unitl midweek looking likely.

No snow lying in Armagh yet.

Most of the country still seems badly hit by the snow - any more reports from Armagh ?

Doesn't seem to be any snow lying in Armagh city. You'd imagine at this stage the games will go ahead.

A narrow win for Monaghan - the Down GAA Twitter gives the final score as Monaghan 1-12 Down 0-13. Down led for most of the game but when Keith Quinn was sent off for a second yellow mid-way through the second half Monaghan seem to have finished the stronger side.

Tyrone laboured to a 2-09 to 0-7 win. Goal from Kane on stroke of ht gave us a cushion that Fermanagh never really looked like pulling back.

Second half saw a lot of aimless ball into forwards or poor shots from distance.

Sean C poss the best on show for Tyrone. MoM whoever the no11 for Ferm was.

Looked bad enough injury for Block.

Great start for Malachy O'Rourke and Monaghan, it may only be the McKenna Cup but he has had a good look at a range of players while mantaining the balance of the regular spine of the team. 3 very convincing wins in the group has been furthered by yesterdays win and importantly, they came from behind to do so. Shows confidence and mentality.

The league will be a big test and very important to secure promotion before the championship. Long way to go but a positive start.

To be honest I think Tyrone will hockey them in the final.
