Bogue wants to fight on two fronts


By Jonathan Hogan FERMANAGH hurling captain Ryan Bogue is looking at this weekend’s Division 3B final against Warwickshire not only as a chance to claim some silverware, but also as a key building block in their championship preparations.

Fermanagh hurlers could book final spot with win


By Katrina Brennan THIS weekend, Fermanagh hurlers could, mathematically, book their place in the Division 3B final if results go their way.
