McKenna Cup 2024

[Armaghball]

Callum O’Neill and Cian McConville 2 very good players who could definitely put their hand up for a place as well.

Never know with some of the other lesser known lads there as well, always someone who does well early in the year and pushes for a place, look at Ciaran Mackin and McPartlan the last couple of years

I was very negative on the last selection so I will give credit where credit is due on this one. For me this is a perfect Mc Kenna Cup team and panel. Established senior players who have been injured or seen limited game time recently, fringe players and new faces.

Looking forward to seeing how a few of them run. Would argue there is a few there with the chance to put a hand up as @Armaghball has said.

I'd agree with alot of this, think Callum O'Neill is the one I'm looking forward to see most as heard alot of good about him so interesting to see

Me too. I have seen a lot of him, albeit a lower level of club football but I always thought he was ready made for County football. He has had a hard enough time with injuries (Often I felt because he was asked to do a lot with the club. Happens at Junior) so maybe a run in that environment will confirm or deny if he has what it takes.

Let’s be honest, an 8 week ban is a joke

Yip it should be 18 weeks

Will Armaghs score difference be reversed?

young conlon on the bench was a tasty enough footballer at school level

Was he on that under 20 team that got to an Ulster final with Rian O'Neill and mcquillan and co?

What age is he?

Yeah, same side as Turbo, Mc Cambridge etc. I think around 24 something like that but not 100% sure.

Think that was the side had the whole rake of bans after the Tyrone semi that got to the Ulster final. Derry beat them.

Yeah thought that was the team, Jesus we have had some players come through from that team

First cousin of Rian and Oisins too

Looked the team up. Serious return from that side. Pretty encouraging!

 

[Chipaway]

Looked it up myself - 2018 Ulster U20 final.

Ross McQuillan kicked 6 points from play in the final. Let's hope we can get him back to that sort of form this season

Conor O'Neill
Callum O'Neill
Rian O'Neill
Barry mccambridge
Jason Duffy
Ross mcquillan
Ben crealy
Conor turbitt I think

Some return

Serious operator. Has all the tools and think he captained either the minor or u21 team as well. Looking forward to seeing how he goes at this level.

He’s not playing too badly now for Cullyhanna the last few days out. Has something we probably don’t have an awful lot of which is proper pace.

Justy Kiernan came on in the final also. He was only 17 at the time. Ben Crealey was a year too old for that group. Great side. Great return for who’s pushed on for our seniors now
