Fermanagh manager, Pete McGrath
Fermanagh have drawn Antrim in the Ulster senior football championship quarter-finals for the second year in succession.
Fermanagh lost out to Antrim 3-13 to 2-18 last year in Brewster Park in what was hailed as one of the best games of the quarter-finals, before going down fighting away against Laois 1-19 to 2-15 in the qualifiers.
Having been drawn out first Fermanagh once again look set to enjoy home advantage against the Saffrons.
Antrim lost emphatically to Donegal in the Ulster semi-final before going out to Limerick in the All-Ireland qualifiers.
Also on Fermanagh’s side of the draw are Cavan and Monaghan, ensuring a tasty derby duel should Fermanagh succeed in booking their place in the Ulster semi-final.
