1. pre match, Fermanagh players put through drills, Antrim players kicking the ball around leisurely - bad omen before a ball kicked in anger
2. kickout strategies told a tale, Fermanagh guy looking for movement and space to aim at, Antrim keeper straight down the middle most of time, no outfield movement. Fermanagh got it moving fast, Antrim slow and methodical. Fermanagh won serious number of Antrim kickouts but it improved a bit in second half
3. Not only did Antrim have few forwards up, but they were peppered with high ball in, especially in first half. No chance against Fermanagh defence
4. Antrim half back line never got near going forward to support
5. Serious poor shooting in first half, got better in second half
no doubt Antrim players train, put the hours in and work as hard as any other county and its such a shame they get very little reward
