Fermanagh's second-half display against Antrim today left a lot to be desired as far as manager Pete McGrath is concerned.

The Ernesiders scored a 1-12 to 0-9 Ulster SFC preliminary round success over the Saffrons but McGrath says a repeat of the second-half performance in the upcoming quarter-final against Donegal would spell trouble.

The home side conceded five points without reply after the break and, speaking to BBC Northern Ireland, the two-time All-Ireland winning Down boss remarked: "If you look at it, with five or six minutes to go they were back to within three points and we were struggling.

"Antrim were certainly taking the game to us and this was after periods of the match where we were totally dominant and really should have been further ahead.

"The fact that we did lose a grip on the game and the fact that we let Antrim in to that extent, that is a cause for concern particularly if you consider that Donegal are our next opponents in four weeks time."
