Fermanagh captain Eoin Donnelly doesn't agree with calls for a second tier in gaelic football.

The influential midfielder says weaker counties just need better resources and infrastructures in order to be able to pit themselves more favourably against the big guns:

"I don't agree with any sort of second-tier competition at all," he says in The Irish News. "The teams that they're talking about putting in the second tier just need more resources; they need more effort and structure put into them.

"The players are there and the effort is there and Fermanagh is an example of that. We put in some effort this year and we're starting to see the rewards. We got up to Division Two and we know it is going to be a big test.

"But you need to be competing against the top teams in the country to try and improve yourself every year. Next year is another challenge for us and we'll try and narrow the gap between ourselves and the top teams."
