By Niall Gartland FERMANAGH paid the price for their wastefulness in front of goals in their last day out against Offaly, and they’ll know they’ll need to produce a better performance if they’re to consign Down to defeat in Ederney this weekend. Kieran Donnelly’s side racked up ten wides across the hour, indicative of a […]
By Katrina Brennan WITH one win on the board, Kieran Donnelly will be keen to make it two this weekend when they take on Down in Ederney on Sunday afternoon. Down travel with two wins under their belts and are on the “crest of a wave” says Donnelly, who must wait and see if defensive […]
By Mark McGoldrick LONGFORD travel to Ederney on Saturday with a trophy already in the cabinet this season, but Fermanagh manager Kieran Donnelly says his players won’t shy away from the Midlanders’ challenge.

By Katrina Brennan WHEN Kieran Donnelly said “we don’t make it easy for ourselves” he meant it. Fermanagh had a glorious opportunity to be sitting in second place had they taken their chances against Louth on Sunday past. Instead, they’re sitting in fifth position on five points after Mickey Harte’s men left Brewster Park with all two points. The offset […]
