Pete McGrath believes some of Fermanagh's lesser-known names could make a big impact against Dublin.

The veteran manager is looking forward to patrolling the Croke Park sideline for the first time since masterminding Down's 1994 All-Ireland final victory over the Dubs.

"As you go on further in any competition, obviously your opposition becomes more conscious of what you've got. And that's where the strength of the team - as a team - comes into play," he said.

"Tomás (Corrigan) for example had a marvellous game last week and he had a good game against Roscommon as well. Seán (Quigley) obviously just wasn't as accurate as he normally is … but that could all change the next day. And some other player, be it Ruairí (Corrigan) or Paul McCusker or somebody else, could step out of the shadows and do something which, for him, is unprecedented.

"All great teams need that situation whereby, when key men are being neutralised, others can do the things that are needed. But we've a lot of good players and if Dublin succeed in neutralising them all, I would say fair play to them - but I don't think they will."
