Lowly Fermanagh prepared to exploit southern comfort

HERE’S an interesting statistic. Fermanagh have been to Croke Park twice since Cork footballers last played there.

On Saturday, they will visit headquarters for the third time in their history, yet nobody outside the borderlands believes Billy Morgan's team will be unduly troubled.

It's something you learn to accept when you are from Fermanagh. When Charlie Mulgrew's young, hungry side dealt a possibly fatal blow to Sean Boylan's reign a few weeks ago, the pundits decided the result called for more of a Royal inquest than patting Fermanagh on the back.
