He was sitting among the Fermanagh subs last weekend alright and been tweeting about strength and conditioning training. That's hardly for Portadown. He'll be a very good option come summer but won't play before that, he's been going very well for Portadown this season and that goes on to April.

Did not get down to the game today.
Anybody got any reports from a Fermanagh pont of view??

Was wondering what is the story with Carson??  Is he available this year??

Decent first half, v poor 2nd. Defense solid for most of the game. No forward penetration past the Tyrone half back line.

Scoreline harsh in the end but still, after 10 mins of 2nd half were played, there was only going to be one winner.

C Quigley, B Owens, Woods & Bogue in the corners played best imo

Sean Quigley, D Keenan and Sherry tried hard for an hour without much impact
DRIVE THAT BALL ON!!

I cannot believe you are following Shane McCabe on Twitter.
Thought I was a die hard but this takes it to a new level....

Very important result today but it was hairy enough for long periods. Clare didn't look a bad side but McCabe's arrival made a massive difference. Superb kick passing into Ward and Quigley. They will certainly take points off the other DIvision Four promotion candidates, Gary Brennan was excellent for them in midfield. Owens, Woods and McCabe best for us, Ward had some great moments too, though fumbled one great goal chance when one on one. Quigley's frees were very impressive though had an off day from general play.
Good report here from Impartial.

Fermanagh 0-11; Clare 0-08
Peter Canavan saw his Fermanagh side come from four points down to pick up the points from their opening Allianz NFL Division Two encounter against Clare at Brewster Park today.
Clare were much the sharper of the sides in the first half as they claimed a 0-05 to 0-02 half time advantage.
And within eight minutes of the second period they had moved into a 0-07 to 0-03 lead with the Fermanagh attack struggling to make any sort of impact on proceedings.
However, the introduction of Shane McCabe at the interval was to have a big bearing on the contest, McCabe pulling the strings from centre half forward where he begin to bring Paul Ward and Seamie Quigley in the full forward line into the game.
The Ernemen turned the game around as they landed eight unanswered scores to turn a four point deficit into a four point advantage and they survived a late scare that saw Clare full forward David Tubridy force Chris Snow in the Fermanagh goals into a save to hold on for the victory.
The away side showed their intent right from the off as Shane McGrath and Alan Clohessy slotted over scores.
Fermanagh were seeing plenty of the ball but the final pass into their inside forwards was far too laboured while Clare looked threatening when they got the ball into their attack.
Tubridy kicked over a free to extend the lead to three before Fermanagh finally got off the mark in the 19th minute with a point half back Barry Mulrone.
Tubridy and David Russell fired over points to push Clare four ahead but Quigley converted a free late in the half to leave it 0-05 to 0-02 at half time.
Canavan wasted no time in ringing the changes at the break with McCabe, Kane Connor and Daniel Kille all coming into the side for Mark Little, Brian Og Maguire and Sean Quigley.
Clare did tag on two Tubridy points, sandwiching a Ward effort for Fermanagh, but it was the home side who were beginning to get on top.
James Sherry was a growing influence on the game at midfield while McCabe's ability to pick out a pass was seeing Fermanagh look a lot more dangerous.
With Quigley showing unerring accuracy from frees and Ward chipping in with scores from play Fermanagh began to eat into the deficit, and with ten to go Quigley tapped over a free to put Fermanagh ahead for the first time.
Quigley, Ward and a rare Shane Lyons points put Fermanagh four ahead before Tubridy clipped over a free for Clare's first score in 25 minutes to leave it 0-11 to 0-08.
The visitors were to have a chance to snatch a draw when Tubridy worked a shooting chance in added on time but Snow was equal to the challenge as Fermanagh claimed the points on offer.

Did not get down this weekend.
According to the radio Wicklow had a good chance of a goal near the end.
Defence and midfield seemed to play well but they were a bit critical of the Fermanagh forwards decision making.
Conor Quigley seems to be playing some stuff this weather.
Still a good win, unbeaten and still to concede a goal.  Onwards and upwards.
Any one there in Person??

From Hoganstand

Fermanagh's Mark Little has left the squad bringing an end to his inter county career.
Little, who was one of the county's stars of Fermanagh's run to the All-Ireland semi final in 2004 has been only a fringe player this year.
Indeed, he didn't get much game time during this year's league campaign and was an unused substitute in their last game against Leitrim.
The Lisnaskea forward had returned to form last year when he helped guide his club to All-Ireland intermediate glory, but the 29-year-old has been left frustrated by his time on the bench.
So, he has informed Fermanagh manager Peter Canavan that he is no longer making himself available for selection.

Not a major surprise but would certainly have been a good option come summer.
He started the year well in the McKenna Cup but hasn't had a look in since league really got going.

Harsh sammy.  Very harsh.
One of the best wing half forwards our county has ever seen.
remember his performances in 04.  Deserved an all Star that year.

Brilliant footballer on his day and was instrumental in Fermanagh's meterioc rise in fortunes in the 04-08 era but since then all down hill  :o

Many heading to Croker? Doubt there'll be 10,000 there altogether but should be interesting to see how this team fares down there.
Presume you can just buy tickets at the ground?

sammymaguire

Practically all shocks in Round 1 in the league. Should be good to see the new Fermanagh team at HQ so hopefully the lads can finish off a great div 4 league campaign with silverware
