Great stuff, he knows the young turks are on his tail.

Sounds like there will be some competition for places in that forward line this year.
How many of those scores were from Frees?

Think Tommy scored 1.04 from frees. Penrose had 0.03 (1 free) & Coney got 2 or 3 from play I think. Not sure
though.

From catching bits and pieces of the game on the wireless it seems that vast majority of scores were from open play fuzzman. According to paddy hunter an Noel mc Ginn, stevey and Justy were the only players who would have been certain starters from last summers team, so was a relatively experimental 15.

I realise it's early doors yet but the year is looking bright with the competition for places, would not like to be Mickey having to choose a dozen men from that squad!

[haranguerer]

Certainly not over surprised, and not overly disappointed. Reckon only about four of that fermanagh team will be in the reckoning in June, and not too many counties are blessed with the strength in depth tyrone have. Overall, has been a useful mckenna cup for Fermanagh

[tyrone86]

Tyrone team was:
Curran, Swift, Justy, McGurk, Joey, Gormley, Carlin, Cassidy and McGinley, Tommy, Pete Harte, Coney, Stevie, Penrose, Devlin

Subs: McKenna for Stevie, Teague for McGurk, O'Neill for Curran, Mattie Donnelly for McGinley, Mark Donnelly for Devlin

[Fuzzman]

Any of ye got a list of the top scorers so far?
Are the main men so far Stevie, Coney & Tommy?

How would you say Peter Harte & McKenna have shown up so far.
I'd say the lads from last year will be sweating when it comes to the cut.
No wonder Mugsy is playing well for Cookstown.

Tyrone 1-20 1-8 Fermanagh 

Tommy McGuigan gets away from Fermanagh's Barry Mulrone
Tommy McGuigan starred at Healy Park as Tyrone cruised through to the Barrett Sports Lighting McKenna Cup final.

Fermanagh held an early lead but Tyrone were soon in control and McGuigan hit six points to help the hosts to a 0-13 to 0-5 lead at the break.

McGuigan converted a penalty and Stephen O'Neill added four points while Fermanagh scored a late consolation goal through Damien Kelly.

The Red Hands will play Donegal in the Brewster Park decider on Saturday.

A Ryan Jones free put Fermanagh 0-2 to 0-1 in front after eight minutes.

That was the only time the Ernemen held the lead as Tyrone dominated the remainder of the game.

McGuigan netted from the spot after he was fouled while newcomer Peter Harte was among the Tyrone scorers.

They should have brought the final to the Athletic Grounds to remind Armagh folk what classy football looks like!

Hilarious biased commentary 

Its a Donegal station broadcasting for a Donegal audience. Of course they're shouting for Donegal! They never claim otherwise. Doesn't mean they don't criticize the Donegal players or team. I see one or two comments about McHugh apparently disliking Down (normally its Tyrone lads I think do be complaining! I have to say though, I have never noticed him with any bias or grudge towards any opposition county on Highland - he normally holds Tyrone, at least, up as the example we should be aspiring towards). And he never holds back when Donegal are shite or due criticism!
