By Pauric McGurn HAVING just seen his Fermanagh side start their Nickey Rackard cup campaign with a one-point defeat to Armagh, Fermanagh manager Joe Baldwin was quite rightly hugely disappointed as they prepare to bounce back against Louth on Sunday. The Erne men could not have asked for a worse possible start when before even the […]
By Pauric McGurn THE Fermanagh hurlers get their Nickey Rackard Cup campaign underway this Sunday in Brewster Park with the visit of Armagh and Joe Baldwin’s men will be hoping to really challenge this season, after dropping down from it in 2023. The Erne men won the Lory Meagher Cup last year and built on that with […]
By Pauric McGurn VASTLY experienced Fermanagh hurler Ryan Bogue is itching to avenge the hurt of last year’s league final defeat when they take on Louth in this Saturday’s Division Four showdown. This time last year they fell short against Warwickshire, but they’ve won themselves another shot at league honours with an impressive run of […]
By Katrina Brennan IT’S a season-defining game this Saturday in Abbottstown when Fermanagh take on Lancashire in the final round of the Allianz National Hurling League.

By Pauric McGurn FERMANAGH boss Joe Baldwin said “it was never going to be simple” as his side made it three wins in a row over Warwickshire on Sunday afternoon with a strong victory in Birmingham.

FERMANAGH hurling manager Joe Baldwin wasn’t making excuses for Saturday afternoon’s defeat away to Louth but he did point to the availability of players as being a factor in the game as they prepare for Sunday’s visit of Longford. Caolan Duffy and Thomas Burns were unable to travel from England, Francie McBrien was called into […]
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 […]
By Katrina Brennan FERMANAGH hurling manager Joe Baldwin was “delighted” with the character shown by his squad on Saturday afternoon after they came back from 11 points down to earn a draw with Cavan. Baldwin felt it was a point gained in their Lory Meagher campaign, rather than a point dropped, acknowledging that; “you can probably afford one […]
By Pauric McGurn FERMANAGH full-back Rory Porteous wants Fermanagh to finish the job as they aim to complete a 100 per cent winning run in the Division 3B group stage. A hard-fought victory over Lancashire last weekend secured their at least a semi-final spot, and they host Longford on Saturday knowing that the winner will take […]
