Fermanagh’s new bosses off to dream start

FERMANAGH’S joint management pairing of Rory O’Donnell and Brian Johnston got an ideal start to their league campaign yesterday, scoring a facile 8-23 to 1-8 victory over injury-ravaged Cavan at Ballyconnell.

Rumours surfaced during the week that Cavan’s plight was so bad the fixture was in jeopardy and the Breffni county certainly won’t look back at this game with any degree of pride as they were blown away from the first whistle.

Shane Corrigan was the Fermanagh star, the corner-forward bagging five goals while Brendan McGarry, Danny Tegue and Francie McBrien also raised green flags.
