Pick your fantasy McKenna Cup team with Gaelic life and Ladbrokes.
Wonder will the players and squads be updated.
Its based upon this years Ulster squads but surely most teams will be trying new players out.

Very similar to the Irish news one for the Ulster championship.
Lets hope they have one running for that too

It said in the GL this morning, that they'd have a comp for the National League, and the All Ireland series.

It would be good if you could set up mini leagues as well, so that you could have your own internal club competitions.

Great performance from Tony there - 226th I think out of 328. I think two blades scored the same as Fatman did.

Well i beat Tony anyhow but then again that was not hard.

Tony is the one entry per person rule ruining your chances of winning??

T Fearon · January 30, 2009, 02:23:30 PM

No, just a nightmare competition. Of the 15 I picked I think only one played regularly. I will redeem myself in the NFL don't you worry

T O Hare · January 30, 2009, 04:49:09 PM

I beat CJ McGourty by a point!!! Mayobridge finally get one over on St Galls

Happy with my 119th spot - considering I picked Seanie Johnston for Cavan at full-forward. Of all the people to know he'd be involved with DCU - it would have been me - ah well. Nice bit of fun - good few county players took part - can anyone confirm who finished the top county player?
