Looks a good enough panel though i would have gave Aidy Little another chance. 

Think Aidy did the cruciate as far as i know

And who is captain this year?
Is there no fermanagh men left on the board??
Wanted.  Forwards to take frees.
Not fussy.  Any sort of ability will be considered

Charlie Mulgrew has reverted to a near full strength side for the Ernesider's league clash with Limerick in Clones.

Following a mixed McKenna Cup campaign which saw a number of fringe players tried out, Mulgrew has gone for the strongest available selection for the tie with the Shannonsiders.

Back into the team come Barry Owen, Mark Little and Martin McGrath, all of whom started on the bench against St. Mary's in the final McKenna Cup game.

Fermanagh (NFL v Limerick) - Christopher Breen, Niall Bogue, Barry Owens, Shane Goan, Raymond Johnston, Hugh Brady, Peter Sherry, Martin McGrath, James Sherry, Mark Little, Shaun Doherty, Eamon Maguire, Ciaran McElroy, Mark Murphy, Ciaran O'Reilly. Subs - Niall Tinney, Paul Johnston, Damien Kelly, Thomas McElroy, Ryan McCluskey, Shane McCabe, Jonathan McGurn, Colm Bradley, Brian Og Maguire, Shane Lyons, Paul McCusker, Shane O'Brien, Barry Mulrone, Ryan Keenan, Fergal Reilly.

Looks like a good squad. Hopefully a good result on Sunday will set us on the way for at least avoiding a bottom 2 finish

Not a bad line out that, it will be interesting to see how Womble (Murphy) gets on at full forward, he has a great pair of hands.
Does anyone know who this year's captain is? Herad a rumour on another, quite rubbish, GAA site that it was going to be Johnny McGurn, doubt that very much after he upped and left for the US loast summer

Happy enough with the team for Sunday. The defence as always looks pretty strong with Barry Owens leading from full back. I'm glad to see James Sherry back in midfield with Marty McGrath. Although I admit he has struggled with his form over the last year I feel the McGrath and Sherry midfield partnership is the best we have on offer. I hope Mulgrew sticks with the two of them and gives them an opportunity to gel together in the centre of the field.

As always the big problem area for Fermanagh as been the forward line and the inability to turn possession into scores. Tom Brewster will be a big miss for his physical presence. Hopefully guys like Ciaran McElroy and O'Reilly can contribute important scores for the team. With Eamon Maguire in the side we always have a chance. Womble at full forward is an excellent move and hopefully he'll result in being an good target man.

With regards who will be this year's captain, I haven't heard too much although it is very unlikely to be Johnny McGurn. It'll probably be Owens or McGrath owing to the experience they have gained over the last number of years.

This will be a very difficult game for Fermanagh but it is a game they must win. Hopefully if its a dry day and with a vocal 'home crowd' behind them, Fermanagh should win this game!!
We'll win Ulster some day, not sure when.

Anyone know what the story is with the rumour that Boho Fabers are to be ressurected?

Is there a split in Derrygonnelly?

Yes Boho St Fabers are hoping to be resurected this year in the bottom division andare gunning for the Harps

Well dudes, any idea of how we'll get on in the Championship. I predict a 5/6 point defeat at the hands of Tyrone followed by a morale boosting win over London and finishing with a comprehensive defeat by someone like Wicklow!!!

Any word on how the challenge match with Galway went at the weekend?

O'Connor offers advice to Fermanagh

Struggling Fermanagh hope to benefit from a talk given to them over the weekend by Kerry's double All-Ireland winning manager Jack O'Connor.
O'Connor, who stepped down as Kingdom boss after leading them to a second All-Ireland title in three years last autumn, met up with the Fermanagh squad at a team bonding session in Mayo last weekend.
O'Connor took in a training session and a challenge match against Galway before giving the Fermanagh players advice on how to achieve a winning mentality. The players were said to be delighted with his input and are hopeful that it will help to turn their fortunes around ahead of the Ulster SFC opener against Tyrone on May 20.
It's only three years ago since the Erne County reached the All-Ireland semi-final, but they have slipped considerably since then and a terrible run of seven consecutive defeats in Division 1A of the NFL this spring saw them relegated to Division 3 for next year.

No mention of the result, though I'd say we were beat!
Anyone know who is this year's captain?
