AHEAD of Saturday’s big game, we caught up with some Fermanagh fans to hear their thoughts on how they see the game going and how the Ernemen can hurt the All Ireland champions. Lorraine McGoldrick, Derrygonnelly I would love to see a Fermanagh win but I think that given the squad depth in Tyrone and previous […]
McNally looking forward to a packed house in Brewster
By Mark McGoldrick SEAN McNally will be Fermanagh’s last line of defence on Saturday and will be standing between the posts and the classy Tyrone forwards of Darren McCurry, Cathal McShane and Darragh Canavan, to name a few. The thought of facing Tyrone doesn’t unease the Teemore man too much; “I think every team in the […]
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 […]
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. The Roslea man very definitely put Fermanagh two points clear going into the final five minutes but the umpire and match officials […]
Donnelly ready for a tough game with Westmeath
After a disappointing performance by Kieran Donnelly’s side last Sunday when they succumbed to their second defeat of the campaign, the Brookeborough man, like everyone in Brewster Park, knew the goals conceded in the first half were their downfall. “We were looking to back our last two games with another win and it just didn’t […]
Same again, urges Donnelly
Fermanagh has never been a team associated with racking up a big score but on Saturday afternoon Kieran Donnelly’s men showed what they can do. 3-15 was a brave score against any team, especially in a tight Division Three league. The game was open from start to finish as play went from end-to-end and it […]
Vomiting bug hits Fermanagh squad ahead of Louth game
THE Fermanagh squad has been hit by a vomiting bug and manager Kieran Donnelly says that it has been a “nightmare” week as his team prepare to play Louth in a crucial Division Three fixture this weekend in Brewster Park. Originally the game was set for Saturday evening at 7pm but as the week wore […]
Longford result will have a‘big bearing’ on league
Kieran Donnelly and his team make the journey to Pearse Park on Sunday with one thing on their minds, a first league victory. The Fermanagh manager knows it won’t be easy though, against a team that has shown in recent times that they’re a match for the Erne men. “There has never been anything between […]
Baldwin not concerned about scoreless second half
FERMANAGH manager Joe Baldwin expressed his delight at the full time whistle on Sunday as Fermanagh made it two wins from two in Division 3B. The Erne manager had just watched his side win the first half 0-5 to 1-10, before extraordinarily going the entire second half not scoring and actually losing the final 35 minutes, 0-6 […]
