Former All-Star full back Barry Owens has been included in new Fermanagh manager John O'Neill's McKenna Cup panel.

While O'Neill has yet to officially announce his squad, it's believed that plenty of new faces are included, while Owens is set to play a full part in the pre-season competition after being sidelined for most of the last three years due to injury and heart problems.

Owens, who has undergone heart surgery, has been joined by his Teemore clubman Hugh Brady, who wasn't involved last year after playing at full back in 2009.

County champions Roslea are represented by the three Quigley brothers, Seamus, Conor and Sean, as well as Liam Lynch, Kevin Cosgrove and Niall Cassidy, while Devenish trio Marty O'Brien and John and Terry O'Flanagan have also received call-ups.

Newly-crowned Ulster intermediate football champions Lisnaskea will have Danny Killen, Niall McElroy, Stevie Carter and Johnny Woods involved, while new recruits Fergal Murphy and James McGrath will vie with Chris Breen for the goalkeeping position.

Eamon Maguire (cruciate ligament) and former All-Star midfielder Marty McGrath (tendonitis in the knee) weren't considered due to injury, while wing back Danny Ward has emigrated to Australia. Tweet
