Fermanagh hurling boss Joe Baldwin praised his team’s ‘character’ after they produced a remarkable comeback in Longford on Saturday to book their place in the Lory Meagher Cup Final.
The Erne hurlers overturned a nine-point half-time deficit to snatch a draw in the 5th round tie against the Midlanders, setting up a repeat of the fixture in two weeks’ time in the Croke Park decider.
Baldwin, who recently overcame a serious health scare was pleased his players got their ‘just rewards’ and will be competing for the All-Ireland title.
“It’s great that we’re through [to the Lory Meagher Cup Final,” Baldwin said.
“It’s where all young Gaels aspire to be and I’m sure they’ve played hundreds of All-Ireland finals in their back garden. It’s great for all of the work that is going on in the county.
