THE Fermanagh club season gets underway this Saturday evening and it was expected that the Club Players’ Competition would be a ‘starred’ competition until Fermanagh’s season reaches its conclusion. However, it has been confirmed by Fermanagh CCC this afternoon that county players will now be available for their clubs this weekend, which will come as […]
Donnelly has ‘nothing but credit’ for his players
IT doesn’t come much tougher than the All-Ireland champions in your first season in charge as manager but Kieran Donnelly and Fermanagh met the challenge head on to their credit. There was no ‘parking the bus’, the Erne men attacked this game as much as their counterparts and by half time they trailed by a […]
A victory would be very sweet for Treacy
FIRST and foremost, Ger Treacy is a Fermanagh man. A Fermanagh man living in Tyrone but there’s no question that his roots are firmly embedded in Fermanagh GAA. On Saturday night, you’ll find him on the sideline with Kieran Donnelly and not for the first time. Back in 2011, Treacy was part of Peter Canavan’s backroom team alongside […]
Donnelly ready for formidable challenge
TWENTY-SIX years ago, 19 year-old Kieran Donnelly made his Ulster Championship debut for Fermanagh against Tyrone. The Brookeborough man lined out at wing half-forward that day but after helping keep the game competitive for a large part, they succumbed to a fairly heavy Tyrone beating down in Healy Park. Memories of defeats at the hands of Tyrone […]
Tyrone will ignite the spark in Breen
WORKING with Tyrone men on the sites around Belfast and Armagh lends itself to plenty of ‘slagging’ for electrician Aidan Breen, ahead of Satutrday’s big match. The Tempo man can take it though and laughs it off saying “ it’s a bit of craic” as he readies himself for his 102nd game in the green and […]
Quigley hoping to spoil the party
HE may not be a secret weapon but he’s undoubtedly on Fermanagh’s frontline when it comes to scoring. The Roslea Shamrocks man is Ulster’s top marksman this season, amassing a seriously impressive 5-37 across the National League and McKenna Cup campaigns. Outscoring the Paddy McBrearty, Darren McCurry and Rian O’Neill’s of this world, to name but […]
‘Massive’ game for hurlers
FERMANAGH hurling captain Ryan Bogue says Saturday’s Division 3B league final against Longford is “massive” for the improvement of the team and for hurling in the county. “Playing games against better teams is the only way you improve” says the Tempo man, adding, “The group is probably at the right age profile now to make the step […]
Denise is right on track
A REMARKABLE career and it ain’t over by a country mile for Knocks runner Denise Toner. The 43 year-old enjoyed what she herself believes was the highlight of her career last month when she won double gold at the European Indoor Masters Championships in Portugal and there’s no sign of her taking the foot off the gas as […]

Until it’s mathematically impossible, it’s possible
“We simply don’t help ourselves” said Harry McConkey after their 2-0 away defeat to Loughgall at the weekend. “While it’s frustrating for me, I do know my players are absolutely gutted by it. There was a lot of upset after the match” said the Ducks boss, after his team suffered another blow to their promotion […]
