It’s familiar territory for Fermanagh and Antrim this Saturday evening (6pm) when they go head-to-head in Brewster Park.

Donnelly wants big response in ‘winner takes all’ game
The last time Fermanagh played Laois was in March last year, in the league, and the Erne men came out on top that day, 3-15 to 3-09.
