By Pauric McGurn DARRAGH McGurn once again stood tall as Fermanagh moved into the Tailteann Cup semi-final with their 0-21 to 1-16 victory over Sligo – and he doesn’t want the journey to end ahead of Sunday’s semi-final with Kildare at Croke Park. The Belnaleck midfielder kicked a point in either half at Brewster Park, continuing his […]
By Michael McMullan FERMANAGH manager Kieran Donnelly sees Sunday’s opponents Kildare are favourites to win the Tailteann Cup but his side relish the challenge.

Fermanagh head to Croke Park this Sunday to face Wexford, knowing a win could bring home advantage — or more — in the Tailteann Cup knockouts. From the low against Carlow to the lift of Longford, Fermanagh’s Tailteann Cup campaign has steadied. Ten […]
By Katrina Brennan KIERAN Donnelly was far from happy with what he got from his team on Sunday afternoon against underdogs Carlow, and it certainly wasn’t what he predicted off the back of one of their best performances during his tenure against Down on their previous day out. The Ernesiders slumped to a surprise 3-18 to […]
By Katrina Brennan THE Down defeat has been “parked”, says manager Kieran Donnelly, as attention turns to their Tailteann Cup opener against Carlow on Sunday. The draw was made last week and sees top seeds Fermanagh, grouped with Carlow, Longford and Wexford. On paper, it appears to be a reasonable draw for Fermanagh because when you […]
By KATRINA BRENNAN FERMANAGH captain Declan McCusker said it was a “missed opportunity”, and that summed up the feeling of Erne players and supporters alike, on Saturday evening. Down clawed their way back from seven points down to win by one, a result that looked highly unlikely with seven minutes to go. “They were winning all […]
By Michael McMullan FERMANAGH manager Kieran Donnelly didn’t even want to talk about the Tailteann Cup after their defeat to Down on Saturday night in Brewster Park. And it’s no surprise. It was total dejection. His side were hit by Down’s smash and grab victory with goals from Daniel Guinness and Ryan McEvoy after they […]
