Mickey Harte is taking nothing for granted ahead of tonight's McKenna Cup clash against Antrim.

A draw would be sufficient to be send the Red Hands into the last four but, speaking to The Irish News, Harte warned:"We'll have to wait until after tomorrow night's results to make sure that we're there for another game.

"It's not assured yet, but we have put ourselves in a good position to be in for a fourth game. There's a whole lot of variables that can happen. We need to be about the business of winning the game first.

"Antrim and St Mary's had a close encounter, and we got the break against St Mary's, because when it was 5-2 and they missed the penalty, then it could have been a very tight game.

"And they wouldn't have been flattered by the scoreline on Sunday, because we got the rub of the green at the right time.

"Antrim will be more physical than the students, so we can expect quite a difficult encounter."
