Fermanagh feel ‘hard done by’ says Donnelly
On Monday afternoon, Fermanagh manager, Kieran Donnelly may have cooled off but the sense of frustration and anger at Sunday’s decision to rule Sean Quigley’s legitimate point wide was still very much simmering.

A win can reignite promotion hopes
HAVING suffered defeat at the hands of Antrim last weekend, Kieran Donnelly’s Fermanagh squad now travel to the East coast on Sunday for a huge game with Wicklow.

Conál’s love for the GAA drives Joe on
LAST Thursday morning, as Joe Baldwin readied himself to watch Cavan’s recent challenge game with Armagh, he tells me that he is currently nursing a broken foot and he’s in a ‘soft’ cast for another three weeks.
