The Dr McKenna Cup has been rescheduled to start before the New Year following complaints by some of the university teams about having to playing two games in the space of the week. The Ulster pre-season football competition will now get underway on December 30 with the meeting of Monaghan and Queen's University at Clones. Prior to the change, the first game was set to take place on Wednesday, January 2 with Donegal facing UUJ under lights at Ballybofey, but that has now been put back 24 hours. Saturday games are now included in the revamped fixture list, with Queen's in action on January 5 against Antrim and again on Sunday, January 12 against Cavan. All Sunday games start at 2pm, while all mid-week games will throw-in at 8pm. Tweet
