McMahon brothers ready to return
17 February 2014

The McMahon brothers, Justin and Joe, are set to give Tyrone a double boost by returning to action in the near future.
Full back Justin has recovered from a long-standing hamstring problem to put himself in contention for a starting place against Cavan in Wednesday night's rescheduled McKenna Cup final, while older sibling Joe is also on the comeback trail from a groin injury.

"Justy did his first full session last week, it was good to see him back on the pitch. He has been working away all along on his own," Tyrone trainer Fergal McCann explained to the Irish News.

"Joey has been doing the exact same. He's getting on really well in the rehab over the last couple of weeks, so that's positive news for us as well.

"We'll go session by session with Justy, and we're waiting on Joe to get back into collective training. But Justy is looking stronger with each session, and he should hopefully be very much part of the plans for the McKenna Cup final.

"Joe is still a couple of weeks away yet. We're not going to be rushing anybody in, when they're ready to go, they're going to be good to go."

Assume the team will be named tomorrow night. Can see it being experimental enough with boys we did well during the McKenna cup getting games. Will be interested to see what he does with the sigerson boys who I think play Friday. Could cause a row if he plays them. Mattie d was captain for most of it so would be nice for him to be captain in final but in my opinion should be rested. If they are rested I'd guess a team like this
Oneill
Mcrory
Clarke
Mcnamee
McKenna
Harte
McCann
Grugan
Mcbride
McKenna
McGuigan
Lavery
McNeice
Cavanagh
Mccurry

Yeah Id be shocked if Sigerson lads were involved. No chance of that really. Ronan O'Neill, Mattie Donnelly, & Conor McAliskey should all be omitted.

Id say he will reward a lot of the younger lads who earned the final appearance, with a starting slot. Redhands 15 ought to be close.

Would also be a good opportunity to introduce from the bench some of the returning players who are in need of game time - Kyle Coney, Dermot Carlin & Justin McMahon.

Tyrones squad is looking the best it has in a long time. Excited to see Coney and Justy back after years of injury disruption, hope they both get a bit of luck over the next few seasons.

Working on Wednesday in West Sligo so no chance to make Armagh by 8pm(Enniskillen would have been a stretch) so delighted to see the game will be streamed.

Ah pity you couldn't have made it. I'm sure Sean would have had a nice pot of tea and humble pie for you up at the big house after the game!

I'd say Mickey will give a run out to few different players tonight.
With Ronan O'Neill, Mattie Donnelly etc out, could maybe see people like Kyle Coney get a game.

Yeah according to Teamtalkmag Ronan O'Neill, Darren McCurry, Mattie Donnelly, Conor McAliskey & Barry Tierney all unavailable. Im not sure if McCurry is injured? The others are involved with UUJ in Sigerson. Im sure Cavan must be missing a few with Sigerson involvements as well. I noticed Dan McNulty didn't feature for Clonoe U21s in the Ulster Championship game at the weekend so he is obviously injured

Any one else find it strange that counties publish teams etc before every match in this tournament except the final? Weird but we've all come to expect it. Big Opportunity tonight for Kyle Coney surely, he has slipped well down the pecking order whilst out injured & he wont climb back up it that easily with SON, Penrose to return. Mark Donnelly needs minutes too.
Would like to see Conan Grugan in the half forwards, I don't think he is cut out for inter county midfield at this stage of his career even though he has done well. Calling out for a run at 10 or 12.

Is this free or do you need to be a member/subscriber?

copied & pasted from their website:

For the first time ever, the Power NI Dr McKenna Cup Final will be streamed LIVE around the World by Linwoods Armagh TV. The game was moved to the Armagh Athletic Grounds on Monday morning after concerns that the original ground in Brewster Park, Enniskillen wouldn't be deemed playable. Tyrone and Cavan will contest the final with a throw in time of 8pm. Extra time will be required if the teams are level after normal time.

This is great news for Gaels who are situated around the globe and not able to make the Final. They can simply tune in by visiting the following link and watch the game free of charge.
