The action all begins on Friday evening in Lisnaskea at 7.30pm where it is the clash of Division 2 sides Kinawley and Enniskillen. Enniskillen have struggled in recent years and the height's of seven county titles, six in a row from 1998-2003 and again in 2006 is all but history, Kinawley on the other hand being 2009 Intermediate Championship will hold no fear of the Gaels especially having a big win in the league only a few weeks ago. On Sunday there is a double header in Brewster Park with what could be the tie of the round with league leaders Belcoo take on last year's beaten finalists Roslea at 3.00pm.
