They say that with lakes and protestants dominating the county, there isn’t much of a footballing pick left in Fermanagh.

FERMANAGH’S joint management pairing of Rory O’Donnell and Brian Johnston got an ideal start to their league campaign yesterday, scoring a facile 8-23 to 1-8 victory over injury-ravaged Cavan at Ballyconnell.

South Down and Fermanagh produced away wins, and fellow Ulster side Tyrone were also victorious on the opening day of actio in Allianz NHL Division 4.
