Self-belief Fermanagh’s strength

FERMANAGH won’t fear Mayo in Saturday’s Bank of Ireland SFC semi-final replay, according to Brian Canavan, the former joint-manager of the Armagh team.

The key to its approach will be a continuing belief in its own capabilities and the conviction the Connacht champions are not a better team.

“I know that they were a bit down after the draw on Sunday from talking to Charlie Mulgrew afterwards,” said Canavan, an analyst with BBC Radio Ulster.
