Fermanagh Erne their spurs

MOST of their players may be small in stature but Fermanagh proved yet again they are capable of big things with a dogged three-point win over Down in the preliminary round of the Ulster Football Championship yesterday.

All-Ireland semi-finalists in 2004, Ulster finalists last year, these guys are proof that it is not about the size of the dog in the fight.

It wasn’t a thing of beauty, not by a long shot, but Malachy O’Rourke’s side will fancy their chances of another big day in Clones what with Tyrone, Armagh, Derry and Monaghan all on the other side of the draw.
