No 3rd level players allowed to play midweek and players only allowed to play 1 game in competition so he had to balance his team.

Armagh had players who played vs Tyrone, and played Sigerson on Tues?  :-\

Aye. That game wasn't held midweek. It was on at the weekend. 😂

Idea of McKenna Cup is to balance getting players ready for the league and trying to source new players for the league & Championship.

I would say Lav has a pretty decent idea of what his starting XV will be vs Clare and the lads will be ready to go.

I wouldn't discount anyone based on that performance but I don't think anyone really stood up and made a case for breaking into the expected team anyway. Thought Crimmins put in a good shift, McPolin & Brooks have potential but didn't convince me they're ready starters.


Wanna see more of Loughrin & Brown in FF line. Loughrin started brightly with 2 moves scores but hardly touched ball after.

Take back everything I just said...what a win, great performance all round!!

Think Brooks is probably deserving of starting in the league at least.

Would be good to see Loughran starting this year.




Truth hurts

That was a disappointing pre-season, we did not get any new blood and it will be back to the same old faces to get us back up the divisions.

Down GAA need to back Saval tonight and become a leader within the organisation. All delegates and county officers should be supporting this. I hope that everyone in the club has had an opportunity to cast a vote on this issue.

Saval pulled the motion. No other club supported it.

That statement is lies!
