WITH Fermanagh safely through to the last eight of the Tailteann Cup as group leaders, Antrim will lock horns with Wexford this weekend in a bid to join them.

Conor Love was in hot form for the Erne County at Croke Park against Wexford on Sunday while Antrim’s win over London kept them in the hunt.

After a creditable performance against Armagh in the Ulster championship, the Saffrons lost both their group games and it was a must win last weekend.

With New York entering after the group stages, only three of the third placed teams would make it through.

A combined 1-13 from Patrick McBride, Ryan McQuillan and Dominic McEnhill ensured Antrim’s 1-22 to 1-14 scoreline squeezed out Leitrim.
