FERMANAGH football boss Peter Canavan is taking decisive steps to ensure that what has developed into a flood of youthful talent is funnelled through the proper channels as a precursor to emerging onto the senior stage.

Canavan, clearly determined to achieve back-to-back promotions for the Erne county by leading his side into Division Two of the Allianz League come the spring, has already conducted a forensic scrutiny of under-age starlets and has moved quickly to streamline the mechanism whereby he feels the players can flourish.

The appointment of Malachy Cullen as the new under 21 manager is seen as central to this strategy and already the former Aodh Rua, Ballyshannon player has got down to business.

Cullen shared in two championship titles with his club some two decades ago and since then has made an impact in the club management sphere.

He guided Devenish to the Fermanagh senior league title in 2008 and in the same year steered the club to the U21 championship title.

Canavan (pictured) is particularly anxious that because of the high ratio of younger players now coming through, there should be closer integration between the U21 and senior set-ups.

"It's very encouraging to see these young players making an impression. The most important thing is that they obviously want to play for Fermanagh and that's always a good starting point. I want to make sure that they are given a fair crack of the whip," said Canavan.

The under 21 squad will undertake strength and conditioning sessions under the watchful eye of senior team mentors Lorcan Martin and Niall Smyth as part of the closer liaison between the two squads.

Fermanagh liaison officer Gerard Tracey spells out the county's commitment to its up and coming talent in no uncertain terms.

"This year players like Kane Connor and Sean Quigley, both very gifted youngsters, made a big impression in our senior team," he said.

"Now we have brought into the squad players like the Cullen twins Che and Lee, Niall Shannon and Ryan Hyde all of whom played for St Michael's College Enniskillen in the MacRory and Hogan Cup competitions, while we are also running the rule over other potential senior squad candidates such as Aidan Breen." Meanwhile, Tempo will be aiming to complete a double coup in Fermanagh when they meet Lisnaskea Emmets in the All County League final on Sunday in what is a repeat of the recent championship decider which was won by Tempo.

However, John McElroy's side were beaten in the Ulster club championship by St Gall's last Sunday and are now anxious to get back on the rails by making it double disappointment for a Lisnaskea side still coming to terms with the recent tragic death of skipper Brian Og Maguire.

Daniel Kille, Niall McElroy and John Woods will again be key figures in their side while Tempo will look to experienced trio Ryan Keenan, Damien Kelly, Darryl Keenan and the prodigiously talented 19-year-old Aidan Breen to spark their double ambition.

Tempo won by 4 tonight - were 5 up at half time (and Belcoo had few soft scores in first half).

Exciting game by all accounts

Justin McNulty would be good if could prise him away Laois. However, that is unlikely and anyway it is likely to be too late in the year now to get any other current inter county manager.

Brian McIvor is another name being talked about.

Will probably go to Chapman - and to be fair to him, given what happened in the last round of recruitment, he probably deserves a shot at it.

McGinnity has always shy-ed away from taking the Fermanagh job. Why would he change his mind now when we are arguably at the lowest point ever? I guess the only way is up....

Would pretty much echo FermGael's comments.  London the better team and deserved winners.  A solid team performance for London and a few of their Galway men look handy enough.  They could have another victory in them yet especially if they get another game at Ruislip.

The attendance level, atmosphere, and set up at Ruislip yesterday made it feel more like a club championship match than an AI qualifier.  Fermanagh duly obliged by producing a club like performance.  Though truth be told many club teams would beat us.  Normally in a situation like this the losing team comes away saying 'ah we took them for granted and thought it would be a handy win'.  No one in Fermanagh thought this would be a handy win (indeed a fair few prob had money on London at 7/2!) which deprives of this excuse.  As a result the only excuses are either (1) players not good enough (2) management not good enough.

Nomally in these scenarios the press will say 'it has become impossible for the manager to stay on'.  The worrying thing is that it is not impossible. O'Neill is stubborn. The County Board will never admit they have made a mistake. The remaining players will be happy for JON to remain as they get regular intercounty football.  Would be interesting to get Barry Owens thoughts now.

The main problem remains unaddressed. The manager picks the players. The County Board picks the manager. The Clubs pick the County Board.  The County Board needs to change. Sack the board. Have clear elections for every position. Look at the best club chairmen and put them forward for the main job. Update the strategy plan for the county. Invest in youth (both in terms of development and having a younger county board).  However, this will not happen as Fermanagh people are to laid back to seek change. But Fermanagh need a vision for the next 5-10 years. JON is not the man to either create that vision or implement it.  Why not set up a commitee headed by Peter Quinn and containing the likes of the Brewsters, the Gallaghers, McGinnity, Corrigan, Owens, McGrath, Bradley et al to say 'right how are we gonna sort this out'?

On another note, a reminder that Fermanagh football is not totally dead was provided by the chants from the Lisnaskea contingent of 'if you have an all-ireland clap your hands' whilst a mirror above the bar in ruislip that was presented by Enniskillen Gaels in 2000 was another reminder of headier days for fermanagh football
