Do the McKennas follow the McKenna Cup?
Jimmy Smyth
In our first Gaelgames podcast, we look ahead to the opening gaelic football tournament of 2009 - the Gaelic Life Dr McKenna Cup.
A year ago, Down won the trophy to give the Mourne men their first silverware in a long, long time.
Former Armagh football captain and well respected commentator, Jimmy Smyth, casts his opinion on which county is likely to do well in this curtain raiser to the National Football League and then the All Ireland Championship series.
It’s going to be a tough year, too, for debutant managers Liam Bradley (Antrim) and John Joe Doherty (Donegal) while Damian Cassidy and Tommy Carr have much to prove at Derry and Cavan.
Do you agree with Jimmy Smyth’s views on the McKenna Cup, the tasks facing the new men in charge and how the experimental rule changes will work?
Is he right when he says that Tyrone are going to be favourites to retain Sam?

I don’t agree with Jimmy. The McKenna’s do in fact follow the Dr McKenna. I saw Paddy McKenna in Kingspan Breffni Park last weekend.
