Niall McKenna Withdraws From County Panel
Sunday 24.07.2011

Although Mickey Harte was smiling broadly at the end of last night’s win over Armagh, some of the gloss of that win disappeared this morning when the county manager was informed that young midfield prospect Niall Mc Kenna has decided to withdraw from the panel. The Donaghmore player, son of former county player and manager Eugene, informed the manager that he wished to opt out of the county panel to focus on club football for the rest of the year.
Mc Kenna was a member of the 2008 All Ireland minor winning side along with present senior panel members Kyle Coney, Peter Harte and Ronan Mc Nabb but only Harte and Coney have so far made the breakthrough to the senior team. The high fielding Queens University student will be quite a loss to the panel as his versatility would allow him to fill several positions should he be required and players of that quality could prove vital just as Tyrone enter the business end of the season
