well done to Fermanagh ladies who showed plenty of heart to come out on top of a tough battle against longford on saturday evening on TG4

Roslea Shamrocks overcame a spirited and determined Newtownbutler team also on Saturday evening, 1-09 to 1-06 which sees them head into their first Fermanagh Senior Championship in 23 years.

Newtown lead 0-5 to 0-3 at half-time winning the midfield battle and some good scores from wing half-forward Connolly. But it was the men in green who came out of the blocks the much sharper reeling off 3 quick points seeing the half-time team talk doing wonders. Roslea took a grip around midfield with another solid performance from the capt. James Sherry, ably assisted by Cosgrove, two Quigley's, Peter Sherry and motm Peter Lynch. Roslea bagged a goal after some good attacking play seeing Niall Cosgrove slam home with 10 minutes to play and the margin was 6. The game got niggly with Newtown getting frustrated by the lack of scores only 1 point in 28 minutes which then saw McGuinness of Roslea get a second yellow card for handbags then a late goal put 3 between the teams near the final whistle.

Roslea play winners of Devenish and D'gonnelly which is being played later this evening.

Malachy O'Rourke is happy with his decision to continue as Fermanagh football manager for a third year.

The Derrylin man had considered quitting after a disappointing 2009 which saw the Erne County relegated to Division 3 of the National League and beaten by Cavan and Wicklow in the championship but, after much deliberation, he has decided to continue in the role.

"Last year was disappointing because we never really got going like the way we did in 2008," he told the Irish News.

"It was just a case of looking at that and being sure that we were keen as a management team to go again and try and revitalise the whole thing.

"I've always said that it's a great privilege to manage your own county. So when I got a bit of space and thought about it, I was keen to get back. And I suppose we didn't want to leave it the way we did in 2009."

O'Rourke also revealed that he is likely to add a "fresh face" to his management team ahead of the new season.

Although a very disappointing year, I am happy to see O'Rourke commit to another year. Anyone have any ideas who the 'fresh face' might be? I'd have thought he might be hinting at someone from outside the county

This thread has gone very quiet!

So what's the prediction for this weekend?

Derrygonnelly were very impressive against Devenish but I think Roslea will have too much.  They have a very strong spine.

Also, a big congratulations to the Fermanagh Ladies on their AIF appearance!

Anybody know who Lisbellaw now play in the Ulster Series or when or where the match is fixed for?

[greeny]

Roslea to hammer Derrygonnelly. Lack of Discipline will cost Derrygonnelly!!

Roslea looking good for Saturday evening's encounter with 2 Sherrys and 2 Quigleys being the mainstay of the 15 on the field. (I wonder if playing under lights v Newtown gives them a slight advantage over some of the Derrygonnelly lads that might not have, can't really see that but you never know). The game will certainly hinge on the way Derrygonnelly handle the 2 young Quigley lads as 90% of the scoring comes from those 2. They are goal-getters and Seamus finally looks like he can take on the mantle of the county free-taker if he remains interested in football as he surely has a bright future ahead of him if he stays fit and keeps his head.
