Pic: The Fermanagh team yesterday had 15 changes from the one named in the programme

Taking dummy teams to a whole new level

Okay, we know the McKenna Cup, like all pre-season GAA tournaments, are not to be taken too seriously but you would hope that the team named in the programme would be somewhat close to the one on the pitch. A few changes are to be expected at this time of year but this picture shows just how many late changes were announced to the Fermanagh starting line up against Queens yesterday.

@sportsdes Glad I wasn't commentating on the Fermanagh game yesterday :) #severallatechanges pic.twitter.com/z5AK49gvbS — Pauric Lodge (@pauriclodge) January 5, 2015

We're sure Peter McGrath had a good reason for the difference between the team on the pitch and the team on paper but it is tough on fans who have paid for a programme to be left to do so much work themselves to keep track of who is who. Hat-tip to @sportsdes
