Antrim manager Frank Fitzsimons will test the versatility of his squad in Sunday's Qualifier against Fermanagh at Brewster Park.

Patrick McBride, Conor Burke and Paddy McAleer have all left the Saffrons nest, while Niall McKeever, Sean McVeigh, Ricky Johnston and the McGourty brothers (CJ and Kieran) are available again:

"When you have a level of versatility within a side, it can be a big help if you encounter problems," Fitzsimons says in The Belfast Telegraph.

"Sean McVeigh can play at full back, midfield or attack, Justin Crozier has played in three different positions for us this year, Owen Gallagher is as good at full forward as he is at midfield and now we have Jack Dowling coming through to give us extra options. I can't complain, really.

"We may have lost boys but we have not been running around seeking out replacements for the sake of it. I have faith in the lads because I know they truly want to play for Antrim. As far as I am concerned that is the big thing.

"I know they will work their socks off against Fermanagh. To win on Sunday would be a big result for us and I feel we can do it because our attitude is second to none."
