Fermanagh manager Rory Gallagher has drafted in no fewer than eleven players to the squad for the 2019 campaign.

Gallagher and his selectors felt there was a need to ‘freshen up’ the squad ahead of the new campaign and he has wasted no time in doing so.

However, Fermanagh will have to plan without Eamonn Maguire and Pat Cadden who have followed Ryan McCluskey into retirement.

“We feel that the panel needs a wee bit of freshening up. We got the job last year and the likes of myself would have been out of touch with the Fermanagh club scene to an extent,” Gallagher told the Fermanagh Herald.

“We’ve seen these players over the course of the league and championship on a number of different occasions and everybody is going to get an opportunity to train between now and mid-January.

“We want to see who of the existing panel is prepared to push on. Some fellas were there last year and got their opportunity at training and didn’t get a lot of game time because they didn’t do well enough in training.”
