Mickey Harte says Tyrone are looking forward to renewing their rivalry with Armagh.

The neighbours will meet for a second time in two-and-a-half weeks at the Athletic Grounds on Wednesday night for a place in the McKenna Cup final, with the Red Hands having won a stormy January 4 encounter by 1-12 to 1-10.

"We'll not be going there just to play a game, we'll be going to try to win the game and I'm sure Armagh will be coming to do the same," said the Tyrone manager, whose side are chasing a four-in-a-row of McKenna Cups.

"It's good to get competitive games, the National League isn't far away now, and certainly Armagh will give us that as we remember from a few weeks ago. But it's still the McKenna Cup and there'll be experimentation going on, so we probably won't see anybody's full hand at this stage."
