Brewster kept in reserve

SPECULATION that Tom Brewster might start for Fermanagh in Sunday’s Bank of Ireland All-Ireland SFC semi-final clash with Mayo at Croke Park has proved to be unfounded.

Brewster, one of the county’s most prominent players before emigrating to Australia last year, has been sprung from the bench in Fermanagh’s last three games and acquitted himself so well that it was thought he would get the nod this time.

However, manager Charlie Mulgrew announced last night that he was sticking by the same side that defeated Cork, Meath, Donegal and Armagh en-route to Fermanagh’s first appearance in an All-Ireland semi-final.
