The Ulster Council has secured a new sponsor for the Dr McKenna Cup after Gaelic Life's three-year deal elapsed. However, officials won't reveal the identity of the new backer until next week. All nine Ulster counties as well as the three main universities, Queen's, UUJ and St. Mary's, will participate in the popular pre-season football competition next year. It will be played off during the month of January and completed prior to the start of the National League. The fixtures, dates and venues for the 2010 McKenna Cup will also be announced next week. Donegal are the reigning champions, having defeated Queen's University in last season's final. Tweet
