Kernan wary of Fermanagh threat

July 20, 2008
Armagh star Aaron Kernan is refusing to underestimate Fermanagh ahead of today's Ulster SFC final. The Orchard County go into the Clones decider as favourites to capture their seventh provincial title in a decade, but Kernan says they are extremely wary of a Fermanagh team bidding to write themselves into the history books by landing the Anglo-Celt Cup for the first time. "Fermanagh are definitely a team to be reckoned with because, at the start of the championship, most people would have tipped either Derry or Monaghan to win Ulster but now Fermanagh have beaten both of them to get to the provincial final," the classy half back said. "We won't be silly enough to fall into the trap that maybe this is a Fermanagh team of old, that they will be here for a day out or something like that. They will be coming to Clones with no fear of us and will be coming to win." Kernan believes Peter McDonnell's new-look Armagh side have already surpassed expectations this year, but face their biggest test yet against the Ernemen. "We definitely seem to be going along the right road but we wouldn't be silly enough to think that we have cracked it just yet, we know that Fermanagh is going to be a very tough one."
