Fermanagh grateful to ‘Blobby’

THE truth, as Malachy O’Rourke will happily observe, can often be stranger than fiction.

Fermanagh arrived at Kingspan Breffni Park on Saturday night bereft of short-term form after a disastrous National league and lacking long-term form on the back of a terrible record at the Cavan venue but were saved by a man with a less than complimentary nickname.

Full-forward Ryan Carson, affectionately known as ‘Blobby’ by his peers, provided the guile with a match winning 64th minute goal to book Fermanagh’s place in the Ulster SFC semi-final against Monaghan.
