FFS I was allowed to go to this too. Had bought a new hat an all.

Its raining pretty heavy now in Beal Feirste. I'd have thought that Casement would have been okay.

Man Utd's on at same time.

Tyrone v UUJ
UUJ are hoping the fact that holders Tyrone are putting out an experimental line-up could help them claim another win in the Gaelic Life McKenna Cup.  Red Hands boss Mickey Harte is using the competition to look at many of the county's emerging youngsters.  A student side has never progressed from the group stages but UUJ would be well placed if they could add to their opening win over Donegal. Sunday's Group B clash at Healy Park in Omagh has a 1400GMT throw-in.

Should be an interesting clash tomorrow. Both Monaghan and Donegal weren't really up for it against well organised student opposition. Tyrone also have an experimental side out but I expect the "fit from the Championship" Dromore contingent to be firing on all cylinders in addition to Gourley. I'm looking forward to seeing the Killyclogher duo on the left and McNally will probably be given free taking responsibilities. With Enda probably coming out Mugsy will have to be at his best to marshall the inexperienced county forwards around him. Cathal McCarron did well at his home pitch when given a run out in last years competition and we may well see him. All the Tyrone players for UUJ, including Cavanagh, will really be up for this clash. I think they will find Tyrone more competitive. A draw?

Q101? I'd expect so.

Fermanagh v St Mary's
The McKenna Cup opener at Lisnaskea will give Fermanagh boss Malachy O'Rourke the chance to try out new recruits to the panel (1400 GMT). Barry Mulrone, Paddy Mohan, Cathal McCaffrey, Ciaran Leonard, Niall Cassidy and Patrick Cadden are among the newcomers.  St Mary's are likely to be without Kevin Niblock and Barry McGoldrick because of injuries. However, Ballinderry's Michael McIver is set to start for the students.

I expect Q101 will also be updating from this too.

Cavan v Monaghan 
Monaghan manager Seamus McEnaney is expected to keep faith with his new faces despite the defeat by Queen's in their opening McKenna Cup game. The Belfast students enjoyed a 0-10 to 0-09 win at Clones last Sunday in the Group C fixture. Monaghan will be using the McKenna competition to find new players. Thomas Freeman is expected to again play some part for Monaghan as his eight-week ban only covers club games.
