Jones the driving force for Fermanagh

Wicklow 0-09 Fermanagh 1-16

Jones put the shackles on Wicklow’s James Stafford and kicked two marvellous points as well, one in each half. But he was not the lone raider for Fermanagh, lethal corner-forwards Paul Ward and Sean Quigley contributing four and six points respectively to their victory total.

Both counties, who are being earmarked as potential candidates for an early relegation back down to Division 4, needed to get their campaigns off to a win.
