Fermanagh row takes new twist

THE power struggle in Fermanagh football appears to have swung in boss John O’Neill’s favour after one of the players who recently left the panel went public to deny the manager was the reason for his departure.

As the county board’s management committee reconvened for the second time in three days last night, with an official statement on the impasse expected later today, substitute goalkeeper Feargal Murphy explained he left to pursue interests in soccer.

Furthermore, Murphy, who departed from the camp earlier this month, claims a number of others quit the Fermanagh camp for similar reasons.
