They should leave the draw for the semi-finals until after the group stages. As it stands two teams from Group C could play each other in the semi final.

This group suits me brilliantly - couldn't have planned it better

I'm a down girl living in Belfast, boyfriend in Derry! So home or away draws will suit for all matches!

Anyone know when the actual draw is?

Nice to see the good people of Monaghan have had a bit of regard for us in choosing the venue for Armagh v Monaghan!

Very sensible choice for a midweek match. Within 45 mins of most of both counties.

25 November 2009

Mickey Harte is set to live up his promise of giving Tyrone's emerging stars their chance to impress in the forthcoming Dr McKenna Cup. Harte has revealed that a number of last year's All-Ireland minor squad will feature in the pre-season competition. Up to 10 members of this year's senior squad will not be involved, while others will be involved with their university teams. "There are certainly players from the 2008 minor panel. A number of them are definitely going to be serious players, and it's just a matter of who and when at this point in time, which of them and when they'll be coming," the Tyrone manager told the Irish News. "I'd certainly say a number of them will be involved in the McKenna Cup."
Established stars such as Philip Jordan, Sean Cavanagh, John Devine, Ryan Mellon, Colm Cavanagh and Mickey McGee have been ruled out of the McKenna Cup through injury, while Colin Holmes has retired and Brian Dooher has yet to decide on his future. "A number of players are out injured, Colin Holmes is gone and Brian Dooher is still recovering, so of the squad that we had at the end of the championship, there's eight or 10 players that won't be available for a variety of reasons," Harte added.

Harte's plans hit by college call-ups

01 December 2009

Mickey Harte's hopes of giving youth its fling in the upcoming Dr McKenna Cup has been hit by a college-versus-county dilemma.

The Tyrone manager won't be able to select his squad for the pre-season competition until he finds out what players will be available to him, and he won't know that until the three universities, who also take part in the competition, name their squads. The universities - Queen's, UUJ and St. Mary's - have first call on players and that is likely to deprive Harte of some of the exciting young talents he wants to call up. He said in the Irish News: "Until we see the college lists, we don't know exactly whether we will have to leave some out or count some in.
"There may be some we would want that they have included, so until we see their list, we can't exactly define what our preference is. When we see that, we'll see if there's some overlap and that would need to happen before we definitely put ours down on paper."
Harte is keen to give a number of last year's All-Ireland minor winning team their first taste of senior inter-county action, but their involvement with college sides has thrown those plans up in the air.
The Ballygawley man also ruled out any involvement in the McKenna Cup for members of the Fr Rock's, Cookstown team that won the Ulster IFC title on Sunday as their preparations for the All-Ireland semi-final in January will coincide with the competition.
