ULSTER’S inter-county season began with two Conor McGurk Cup Round 1 games on Tuesday night. Fermanagh were 3-17 to 0-11 winners over Cavan in Kingspan Breffni Park.

By Niall Gartland ERNE Gaels have undergone a swift resurgence under their manager Seamus Ryder, and they’ll be quietly confident of completing a league and championship double when they face Enniskillen Gaels this weekend. It’s been a rapid rise for the Belleek team – they won last year’s Intermediate title, won this year’s Division One […]
By Niall Gartland EOIN Donnelly stepped away after a decade of service on the Fermanagh team in January. He captained the side for most of that time period and rarely underperformed, but a first-ever Ulster Championship medal proved elusive.
