There’s no shortage of motivation for Fermanagh captain Shannan McQuade heading into Sunday’s Lidl National Football League Division 4 final — but for the Tempo defender, it’s just as much about putting hard-earned lessons into action.
McQuade was part of the Erne side that edged Antrim 2-8 to 1-10 in the 2019 final to lift their last league silverware.
This weekend, she leads them back to St Tiernach’s Park aiming to repeat that success — against none other than the same opponents.
“I was there that day and played, but I wouldn’t really remember too much from it,” she admits. “But there’s definitely been a big change since 2019. Even Eimear [Smyth] did a lot of scoring then and I think she’s come on even more as a player since, and there’s more people around her on the scoresheet too.”
