We need to back ourselves going forward, says Murphy
Fermanagh defender, Courteney Murphy is in her sixth season playing intercounty football. In 2020, she was captain when Fermanagh beat Wicklow to win the All Ireland Junior Championship in an empty Parnell Park, due to Covid restrictions.

‘Just go for it’ urges O’Donnell
IT’S a big ask but one last year’s Intermediate Championship and Division Two double-winning side, Enniskillen, are looking forward to.

McCarville ready to ‘put it to them’
Quietly she goes about her business, on and off the field. 22 year-old Sarah McCarville has been involved in the Fermanagh set-up since 2016, and was part of the 2017 and 2020 teams that won the Junior All Ireland. Interestingly, the Aghadrumsee player was the sub goalkeeper on the 2017 side that beat Derry in […]
Smyth not feeling the pressure
By Mark McGoldrick If Fermanagh are to get a result on Sunday and win their third All-Ireland title, a lot will depend on the performance of Eimear Smyth.

Determined Doonan ready for the Dubs
AS Kinawley ladies prepare for an All Ireland semi final this Sunday, the significance of it is not lost on their captain Joanne Doonan. She’s been there with the Boru’s, knocking on the door of Ulster for quite some time and finally, on November 13 they burst through the door, beating Derry champions Steelstown in […]
Gaels blow Belcoo away to take title and promotion
AN enthralling contest played in miserable conditions, essentially turned in the space of two minutes at the start of the second half, when the game’s only goal propelled Enniskillen into a lead which they never relinquished. The county town girls had trailed by two points at half time after Belcoo largely dominated the first half attacking play but […]
