McKenna Cup 2024

[pintsofguinness]

I could be wrong Pint but I believe Lavery is on the senior panel?

He's not named in programme for ulster final anyway.

Michael McIver is Derry by the way.

Has anyone got a list of all the squads for the teams in the Mc Kenna cup or have they not been named?

Plenty of opportunities handed out to novices. Looking forward to seeing how Marlow has progressed as a senior.

I thought Mickey might have run the ruler over a couple of the Fianna lads.  Ah well, with such a plethora of talent ye can't squeeze everybody in!

Tyrrone - McKenna Cupsters

Anyone know if the C McCarron from Omagh is a defender or a forward? There was a full back and corner forward for omagh who were both very impressive for omagh against us last season and I think it is one of them just not sure what one. Also thought the young Dromore full back (quite sure he is McCarron as well) would have got a run. Glad to see Tommy get another run out thought he got harshly enough done by last year after the McKenna cup. Dont think any of the fianna players are at that standard at the moment.

See he's called up some Uni lads, what's he playing at?  Granted Tyrone are his first priority, but why invite the Uni's into the competition and then handicap already inferior teams?

Two of Sunday's McKenna Cup matches which were due to take place at Lisnaskea and Newcastle have been switched to alternative venues.

Fermanagh's opener against Monaghan will now take place at Irvinestown, still with a 2pm throw-in. Down's first match of the season against Antrim has also been moved from Newcastle to Downpatrick, and will also throw-in at 2pm.

As far as I know Cathal Mc Carron from Dromore is a full back and Cathal Mc Carron from Omagh is a forward.

The McCarron from Omagh is a forward. Wee bit surprised that McCarron from Dromore did not make this panel. Maybe he is part of some of the college teams. I see Aidan McCarron is back in the McKenna Cup panel. I thought he did well last year and then was not kept for the League panel. I heard that a big of bad blood developed between him and Harte over his dropping but then he was recalled for the McKenna Cup Final. After that he went to NY and was man of the match in their game against Roscommon in the championship. It will be interesting to see if he makes it this year. We could have done with him last with so few forwards in the panel.

Cathal McCarron is a forward from Omagh. I think he was top scorer in the Championship two years ago and won the Teamtalk young achiever award in the same year. He was also part of the Tyrone AI Minor winners a few years ago and last year and was in the U21 squad. I remember him scoring a good goal for Tyrone Minors at Clones a few years ago.

Can't comprehend what Mickey is hoping to achieve by putting pressure onto youngsters, McCaul, Boggs and Colm Cavanagh. All 3 are in their uni squad, and now in their County panel, which gives them a difficult decision.
Mickey would be one of the biggest supporters of the competition but now could instigate something that could ultimately derail it!
