Rory Gallagher says there's no point playing football if it's not enjoyable.

Having steered his well-drilled Fermanagh underdogs through to this weekend's Ulster final against Donegal, Gallagher told The Belfast Telegraph:

"It all boils down to enjoyment. The fact of the matter is that if we don't make what we are involved in as management fun and enjoyable for our players then there is no way that they will give everything to it.

"They want to get the most out of themselves and enjoy it at the same time. There are comparisons made between Fermanagh and Donegal but there are a number of Donegal players who have been there for some time and you will never see any of them complain about the commitment demanded from them or this or that.

"They enjoyed it, and I am sure they are still enjoying it. People like Michael Murphy, Frank McGlynn, Paddy McGrath and Patrick McBrearty are still enjoying playing with all that this entails.

"We said when we came into Fermanagh as a management team that this has to be enjoyable and the enjoyment comes from competing."
