McKenna Cup 2024

[Throw ball]

Mc cabe
Armagh were down by 6 halfway through the second half
1-9 to 0-6 so reeled in 6 good scores to equalise.

Maybe we need a fog machine at all games.

Personally think whoever picked man if match must have missed most of match. I thought Madine was best.  Bradley got it.

Ah Christ, Bradley was different gravy. Ran rings around the whole of armagh on his own.

No chance. Played well no doubt but passing the ball around playing keep ball does not count in my book. Besides anyone who gets a blackcard for the tackle he made should be exempt from being picked

Early days yet I know but the writing on the wall doesn't look great for Cavan.

I think they probably listened a little too much to the criticism on their style of football in recent years as while not pretty on the eye, they were very hard to play against whereas now they look like they could be turning into a bit of a soft touch.

Fermanagh look to be motoring nicely under Gallagher.

Tyrone romping it but they have their panel at more or less full strength apart from the UUJ contingent, Colm Cavanagh and a few others.

Cavan's biggest problem has being the huge experiment in players and not putting senior players them to help them along. I don't know how Harte got MOTM. Probably Tyrone's quietest player. Given to the name rather than performance.

He was top scorer with 7 points, matching the entire Cavan team

Five frees and a 45. Most of Tyrone's attacks went down the other wing.

Armagh fielding a strong enough team, and are six points up approaching half time.

[Il Bomber Destro]

Am I right in saying it looks like Armagh and Donegal in the other semi should results stay as they are?

Tyrone 3 up at Fermanagh who went down to 14 men on the stroke of half time.

Tyrone await Armagh or Donegal in the final.

Very impressive win for Donegal who looked to have a strong team out.

[Captain Obvious]

Hard earned win for Armagh today and semi final against Donegal next should be good preparation for the NFL.

So Armagh win the game that according to the Irish News no-one wanted to win

Maybe McGeeney prefers the Newsletter. What did the Newsletter say about today's match?

It said that with Armagh having home advantage they should just prove too strong for a Londonderry team that are minus several of their best players due to involvement with the RA their clubs

Armagh Donegal game in Balleybofey apparently

[Fuzzman]

Sounds like a horrible game in horrible conditions.
What do people make of the new lads, especially McDonnell and McLaughlin?
McNulty seems to be getting a lot of game time again

Fermanagh 0-4 Tyrone 0-8 from Irish Times

Tyrone advanced to another Dr McKenna Cup decider thanks to this four-point victory over home side Fermanagh at Brewster Park. This was to be a dourly fought out encounter, scoring always at a premium with just three points shot in a testing second half played in difficult conditions.

Tyrone were to open brightly enough shooting three points inside 10 minutes, Declan McClure and Conor McAliskey on target but a dogged Fermanagh side quickly pegged that lead back.

In what was their most productive spell of the contest the Erne side levelled with three scores in a breezy five minute spell.

Aiden Breen, Barry Mulrone and Seamus Quigley the latter with a placed kick had the home side back in business. But from there on both attacks were to be curtailed.

Tyrone did pick up three points in the lead up to the interval and Fermanagh were dealt a blow on the stroke of half-time when defender Kane Connor was despatched on a second yellow card.

Fermanagh notched the first score on the resumption, Ryan Jones pumping over but that was to be the final success for them. In fact it took over 25 minutes for the next score to arrive, Darren McCurry slotting a Tyrone free and a few minutes from time Ronan O'Neill thumped over the final score of the day.

TYRONE: M O'Neill, A McCrory, H P McGeary; M Cassidy; C McLaughlin, M Donnelly, K McGeary; B McDonnell; D McClure(0-1); R Donnelly, N Sludden, C Mc Cann; D McCurry (0-2, frees); Ronan McHugh; C McAliskey (0-2 free).

Subs: P Hamspey for H P McGeary; Conor Meyler for McAliskey; Padraigh McNulty for McDonnell; Ronan O'Neill (0-1) for D McCurry; Michael McKernan for R Donnelly; Ronan McNabb for M Donnelly.

Armagh Donegal game in Balleybofey apparently

And was on the toss of a coin. Too late to make it the best of three? Armagh still had far too many wides on Sunday
