There will be plenty of intercounty rookies on show tonight - how will they fare? A nice smattering of experience on most teams, too. No rest for the wicked. No substitute for match practice and all that.

Team news:

Ronan Daly replaces the ill Niall Kilroy at centre forward on the Rocsommon XV. Niall McGovern comes in at full forward for Leitrim in place of Darragh Rooney.

Hopefully, the seemingly-omnipresent wind will ease and we'll have a great night's action. I'll be back soon.

Dr McKenna Cup

At 8pm, a full programme of fixtures up north sees all nine Ulster counties in action for the first time this year: Tyrone face Antrim in Armagh; Fermanagh welcome Monaghan to Enniskillen; Down entertain neighbours Armagh in Newry; and Cavan, Derry and Donegal are all at home against third-level opposition (St Mary's, UUJ and Queen's respectively).

Sligo and Galway lock horns at Connacht GAA Centre, while Leitrim host Roscommon. Both games commence at 7pm.

Midweek Madness!

There's a feast of senior intercounty football and hurling action is store tonight with no fewer than 14 matches scheduled to take place.
