Rory Gallagher admits nothing less than a victory will suffice when Fermanagh play host to Armagh in Brewster Park on Sunday.

After winning their first four games in Division 3 of the Allianz Football League, the Erne County succumbed to a late Westmeath rally last weekend and need to get back to winning ways against the table-toppers if they're to stay in the promotion hunt.

"We've played in fits and starts and we were fairly dominant in the first half against Westmeath. We probably should have been more than five points up and we ended up being caught in injury-time," the Fermanagh manager told the Irish News.

"There's a lot of lessons there for us to learn. We've got to do more to win games, we've got to make sure that when we're on top we get more scores. We can't afford teams to have as dominant a period as we've allowed them.

"The players were disappointed last week - when you go away to Mullingar and you play for large parts of it you would be. But look, we're back on home turf now and we'll be looking to put in a much improved, consistent display."
