McKenna Cup 2026

[trailer]

It's amazing, after two games in the McKenna cup Down have gone from total shit to Tailteann Cup winners elect. And some people don't take this trophy seriously 😂

Cayyvannn still couldnt win the fecking thing!

The talent has always been there in Down as we all now, it's just getting their best players performing like they can do is the issue.

You have issues with your spelling there.

You might list out what Armagh have won there in the last while. It shouldn't take you too long

Armagh are the All Ireland Qualifier champions 2022

Down are not gona beat Derry, Armagh, Tyrone or Donegal!!

I guarantee you with the talent they have if they're all pulling the one way they'll give anyone a rattle. Donegal could struggle big time without Murphy this year. Remains to be see what way Derry will be this year will take a lot for them to back up last year!

What talent? Their underage record is awful. They'll be fit and competitive but a few years off breaking through.

I don't fully disagree with you however...

this time last year most people would have said the same about Derry

Ulster is very open these days.

Did they not win Ulster u20 a year or two ago? Look at their club scene, serious players there.

Maybe you are closer to it than me but I don't see many of that Kilcoo side as top county material. Gilmore, McElroy and Murdock look talents

I think you're mistaking the fact that Kilcoo won the club AI last year for talent throughout the county. There aren't very many county level football players in Kilcoo imo. McEvoy and possibly Johnstone and thats about it. Apart from one Ulster U=20 title last year they have produced little at underage level in the last decade or so. When it comes to producing talented players Tyrone, Donegal and Derry have consistently been the standard bearers for a while.

Down are miles behind the mighty Tyrone and Derry. We have not been anywhere near competing at any level except for that u20 title in 2021. It will be good to get a bit experience this year against these superstars....

Has semi draw been done at start, or after tonight's games?

[APM]

Does anyone know is the Armagh - Cavan match streaming anywhere online?

[Itchy]

Ulster gaa are showing it

[APM]

[Itchy]

Actually I see the link only shows Saturdays games. My iptv provider says he's got the stream and there was a 30 quid option to buy all streams, so must be on. Maybe they just haven't updated the website?

[Itchy]

Got it

Unlike Antrim in the previous game, Cavan providing more of a challenge and useful pre season run out for Armagh. 0-9 to 1-6 at half time.

Cavan 1-14 to 1-9 winners, while Armagh poor 2nd half Cavan are looking in good shape and on the evidence of tonight they should stroll to league promotion.
