Amid scenes of great jubilation in Charlestown, Fermanagh qualified for the last four of the League where they will meet their Ulster neighbours Tyrone.

With four minutes left to play, Fermanagh trailed by a point. But in a thrilling finale, points from the inspirational pairing of Tom Brewster and Raymond Gallagher gave Fermanagh victory.

It was as much as they deserved as they had carried the game to Mayo all through. At half time they led 0-8 to 0-5, but a Mayo resurgence in the second half saw the hosts go ahead for the first time with five minutes to go when Trevor Mortimer pointed.

Mayo, desparately seeking a win, looked like they would hold on. But Brewster and Gallagher had other ideas and the huge Fermanagh following had plenty reason to celebrate at the final whistle.
