Eoin Donnelly believes Fermanagh's Division Three final against Armagh will be "a championship style game".

The promoted Ulster counties are due to meet at Croke Park for the third-tier silverware on Saturday fortnight and the Ernemen's captain anticipates a high-intensity encounter:

"We're getting into the business end of the season now," he says in The Fermanagh Herald. "There was a lot of hard work done over the winter and now you're getting into the longer evenings and this is where the championship football starts.

"We know the final against Armagh is going to be a championship style game and good preparation for the Ulster championship. It will definitely get us to the intensity level a championship game is going to be at.

"In a way, it is good to have that match rather than having a seven-eight week gap without any sort of competitive football. Boys want to be playing football so you always need that carrot there.

"It's a big game in Croke Park, where you want to be playing, so to get a game in Croke Park at this time of year is only going to whet the appetite for later on in the year to try and get back to it."
