By Katrina Brennan TOM Keenan is known for being the ‘messer’ and ‘joker’ in the squad but when it comes to hurling he is as focused, driven and serious about success as anyone in Joe Baldwin’s squad. The energy he exudes when talking about the game is rare in my experience. Maybe that comes from being so […]
Baldwin hoping to get one over Warwickshire

Baldwin hits out at “shambolic” venue switch
By Mark McGoldrick BEFORE the sliotar has been thrown in between Fermanagh and Lancashire, the game has already been shrouded in controversy. This was always a home game for Fermanagh, scheduled to be played in Brewster Park on Sunday. Now, just days before the game, it has been switched to Darvar, at the Louth GAA Centre […]
