O'Rourke wary of Fermanagh underdogs

The Orchard County got their season back on track with an impressive victory over Donegal last weekend, but O'Rourke is wary of the Erne County's record in the All-Ireland qualifiers and knows just how dangerous they can be when written off.
"They've had some remarkable results and probably have been one of the most successful teams at using that system. I think the likes of Armagh have learnt from them," he said.
"I know Fermanagh suffered a fairly big defeat (against Monaghan), but they still responded very well in the last 15 minutes, and they scored a lot more against Monaghan than we did.
"They're very difficult opponents for us and we'll have to be on top of our game to get anything out of Brewster Park."
The former Down All-Ireland winning captain admitted that he would have preferred to be facing non-Ulster opposition.
"Every Ulster team always prefers to get drawn against teams from outside Ulster but once the draw is made, it's made and you accept who you're playing and get on with it. Our players know exactly what is ahead of them in the qualifiers." Tweet
