McKenna Cup Semi Finals Preview

January 26th, 2010

jerome-quinn-joe-mcmahonBrewster Park in Enniskillen and Healy Park in Omagh will stage the Semi-finals of the 2010 Barrett Sports Lighting Dr McKenna Cup on Wednesday evening.

Down have been the most impressive side in the competition so far, with the Mourne men resurgent under new manager James McCartan and the returning Marty Clarke. They come up against a Donegal team which drew with Tyrone in a thriller in Ballybofey a week ago.

Tyrone have given youth its chance and have run up some big tallies, while Fermanagh are fresh from a defeat over Armagh on Sunday.

It all points to two terrific games which will feature on the Ulster Council’s new video service. This is available directly after games and even during them.

For example, when Marty Clarke made a ‘mark’ in the opening ten minutes of Down’s game against Queens, the footage was posted on the internet at half-time. The short snipet has since been watched four thousand times.

You can watch reports and interviews from half a dozen games in the competition so far, while videos will be posted from the Semi-finals and Final on the Ulster Council YouTube channel and Facebook page.
