Maguire believes tough campaign will aid Pat's
October 03, 2008
St Patrick's manager Sean Maguire is confident that the games that they have played in the championship so far will stand them in good stead against Derrygonnelly in Sunday's final.
The showpiece of Fermanagh football takes place in Brewster Park this weekend as St Pat's go in search of their first title, while their opponents seek their third.
"All three teams that we faced were stiff opposition for us, teams we wouldn't have often enjoyed success over in the past. Teemore with their championship tradition, Enniskillen with their track record; Lisnaskea which was a derby match," said Maguire.
"For the Teemore and Enniskillen games it was a question of getting the players really up for the test. We had a late fright against Enniskillen but were strong enough to finish well. Against Lisnaskea we had the added problem that the expectations had risen and that added to the intensity."
