A lot done, more to do for Jones and Fermanagh

Fermanagh midfielder Ryan Jones admits it will be a 'letdown' if they fail to clear the Westmeath hurdle this weekend.

The Ernesiders defied the odds to advance at Roscommon's expense last time out and they are now just 70 minutes away from an All-Ireland SFC quarter-final spot.

"When we drew Roscommon, a lot of people thought it would be the end of the road, but we don't want to leave it at that," Jones told The Examiner.

"Hopefully we can take it a step further but personally speaking, I think that after beating Roscommon it'll be a bit of a letdown if we don't beat Westmeath. We have to push on, and that's not being overconfident.

"Westmeath will feel the exact same way, feeling they can definitely get a result against Fermanagh.

"We will be going to Breffni (Park) feeling we can win the game. That's the way we have approached every game this year and I suppose if you don't have that approach, is there any real point in turning up?

"You've got to have confidence in yourself that you can go on and win this match."
