One player??!

[AidyMac]

Thats what the rumour is, but cannot see it being true.
Would say that the fixtures listed there will be played when they are meant to.

Query for people.

Do other other CB send out a fixture list to clubs at the start of the year, and how accurate is this kept to?

Only asking as the the league is half way through and we have played some teams twice and yet to play other teams?

Surley the fixtures should be played in the order that they were sent out it??

[supersub]

Ah right ok!

Yeh at the start of the season the Down CB send us a list of senior and reserve fixtures and dates for every league game as well as probable championship starting date. Mostly they are stuck to pretty well with the odd exception, sometimes games are moved to the thursday night of the week or something but they all generally get played in the right order! Sounds like yours are abit all over the place sometimes, is this just because fixtures appear different in the paper than were originally sent out?

[AidyMac]

Not sure, would assume that the CB send out the details to the newspapers on a weekly basis

Don't mind games being moved to during the week, but when they are changes totally it makes things a bit hard to plan

Did anyone hear about 3 new players being brought into the Fermanagh panel this week ?

[FermGael]

Confirmed Jimmy

Fermanagh manager, Malachy O'Rourke has called up three players to the county panel to replace Mark Murphy, Ciaran 'O'Reilly and Paul Johnston, who have all left the panel.

Niall McGovern of Belcoo, Seamus Quigley from Roslea and Paul Cosgrove of St Pat's, who himself returned from Australia earlier in the year, are the three to earn the call up. The three new faces trained with the rest of the panel on Monday night and will be available for selection for Saturday week's Qualifier against Wicklow. Speaking to the 'Herald' this week, O'Rourke said he had personally watched all three players and had not approached any other player's to enter the squad.

"They are in for the short-term till we see if they have the commitment at that level of football. The door is certainly not closed to anybody else. It is very much open and we're looking to see who is there.

"I've watched all three myself and I was very impressed by the three of them. Those were the three we approached and all three were very keen to come on board and trained with the squad last night (Monday)."

Interesting.
Never heard Johnston was leaving but presumably that's just a case of him being fed up waiting on a chance. We're quite well covered in that area but Quigley is the really interesting one. Hope to God they can get him settled and committed. The most talented forward in the county by some distance. It's a long shot, but him Blobby and Eamon would be a top class forward line. This must mean the county board have cleared Quigley for action down south, hope he repays them in kind. Cosgrove will be a good option too, probably the best midfielder in county Championship last year on St Pat's run to title. Hopefully he can bulk up a bit for the senior county level.

ExiledGael what do mean by the Co.Board must have cleared Quigley for action down south?  Is he barred from entering the free state or something??!!

Three good additions to the squad, but Quigley is definitely the one we've be crying out for. Fierce amount of pressure for a young fella though, who amazingly has been on the club scene for years given his age. I can see him starting against Wicklow, probably at CHF of FF. The other two lads will be on the bench.
