McKenna Cup 2024

[lfdown2]

incorrect. in the  context of her statement, yesterday's win was claimed as a further victory over all ireland champions. i merely asked which victory it had been predated by.

[downredblack]

In fairness , Rafferty , McKernan ,Fegan and Lynch have played in the Championship as well .

[laoisgaa]

Does anyone have the leaderboard for the Gaelic Life Dr. McKenna Cup Fantasy Football competition?

Thanks

[Joe Umbrella (hey)]

In fairness , Rafferty , McKernan ,Fegan and Lynch have played in the Championship as well .

But they are not championship regulars.

Rafferty has spent 3 of the last 5 years on the sidlines.
Fegan made his championsghip debut last year as did McKernan whilst big Jack never got look in last summer and won't this year if Ambrose, Colgan or Ireland are available to partner Dan.

Theres a big difference between somone who has played in the championship and someone who is a 'championship regular'.

[downredblack]

I'd expect Rafferty and McKernan to be close to our starting 15 come the summer .

Colgan ??

[Joe Umbrella (hey)]

I agree but with Colgan he's another one of these frustrating fellas, good at underage and colleges level but reamains to be seen what he can do at senior county level (if he gets a chance). I would like to be see hime along side Dan with Ambrose on the 40. Although I would also like to see Mickey Walsh in there too, so my thoughts on team selection dont mean sh*t. Its a long way to the summer and a full strength squad with promotion from Division 3 the main priority before we can think about the championship.

Hugh Davey (0-2)

This guy had a very good game yesterday, kept Ryan mellon well busy, hit 2 clinking points as well.  Looks like a championship player to me.  what club is he from?

Newry Shamrocks, went to Blackburn to play soccer when he was younger, didn't work out, was in america for a while as well, then back last year...

Tyrone only had 5 of their starting Championship team out.

Tyrone only had 5 of their starting Championship team out. 

Nobody disputed this

[nrico2006]

Harte started 7 or 8 established county players and brought on a few more ,  Probably the same as Down .

Mickey Harte called on 11 of the all-ireland winning side according to RTE, of Down's 15+ yesterday about 9 played championship football last year (open to correction)

[lfdown2]

yes apologies it wasnt 11 that i can see, it was just the 10 that played at some stage in both games,

look dont get me wrong i think we all know that its little more than a friendly and tyrone were only back from the states, it wasnt the biggest of achievements but for you to get so worked up about it, well if it was the other way round i wouldnt be worrying to much!

Took some abuse from Down posters last year, did he have a good league for Shamrocks or why the change?

He didn't really take abuse, the management did, and it was more due to the fact he had only just got back from america, and was drafted straight into the panel without playing much for the club or anything, just seemed a bit desperate from the management...
