By Michael McMullan FERMANAGH have their eyes on a top four finish and a chance to go on better than last year by booking a league final spot. They host Leitrim on Sunday in a repeat of last year’s league semi-final that the Erne County lost by two points. Under new manager CJ McGourty, Fermanagh are […]
By Niall Gartland DOMINIC Corrigan will remain in charge of his native Kinawley for a third season, it has been confirmed. The vastly-experienced former Fermanagh manager steered the club to this year’s Division One title but they came up short in an entertaining high-scoring game against Derrygonnelly in the semi-finals of the championship. Beaten championship […]
By Katrina Brennan IT could’ve gone either way but in the end Kinawley manager Dom Corrigan was the one smiling. A one-point winning margin against Ederney meant Kinawley finished second in the table and most importantly secured a home quarter-final against the winners of Sunday’s re-fixed game between Belnaleck and Roslea. “I thought both teams went […]
By Shaun Casey DERRYGONNELLY have been the dominant force in Fermanagh for the best part of the last decade, taking home the New York Cup six times in the last eight seasons. The drive for five was completed in 2019, but 2020 put a dent in their historic run. The Harps, grouped with Roslea, Erne […]
FORMER Fermanagh footballer Shaun Doherty is taking the plunge. For the last seven years he’s been employed as the county’s full-time Football Development Officer, and while it’s been rewarding, it’s now time for a change.

Kinawley has been very dominant throughout and they have produced some great results. […]
By Michael McMullan DERRYGONNELLY had to wait until last night (Wednesday) to find out the identity of Sunday’s Ulster IFC final opponents, but the game wasn’t played. Steelstown’s postponed game with Ballyshannon was refixed for last weekend, with Ulster LGFA moving their semi-final against Cavan champions Castlerahan/Denn for last night. The Derry side, beaten in […]
JOANNE Doonan was roughly 10,500km away (thanks Google) when her club team Kinawley recently claimed their fifth senior championship title in a row in Fermanagh. It was a bittersweet experience in one sense, but it’s fair to say that the Doonan, who won two All-Ireland Junior titles with Fermanagh, has made peace with her decision […]
FERMANAGH SENIOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP SEMI-FINALS DERRYGONNELLY V ENNISKILLEN Saturday, Tempo, 4pm HOLDERS Derrygonnelly are back in the business end of the Fermanagh Championship and they’re fairly strong favourites to go all the way. Enniskillen have brought in a raft of youthful talent in recent years, and they’ll be bidding to avenge last year’s defeat in […]
By Katrina Brennan With Kinawley safely through to the semis, Sean Leonard, the Kinawley assistant manager was delighted with his team’s display; “We’re really happy. That was our goal to get through to the semi final, we get another week now to recover from this, then prepare for the semi final. “We all rowed behind […]
