So big weekend of quarter finals this weekend .

Unfortunately I cannot make the games and was hoping to watch them online
but I have been told that they are not being streamed .

How exactly are our county board promoting out game when they can't cover senior
quarter finals ?

Compare this to the rest of our neighbouring counties .

Absolutely shocking these games are not covered

Kinawley Brian Borus 0-15 1-13 Ederney St Joseph's

Tempo Maguires 0-15 0-9 Derrylin O'Connells

A surprising win for Ederney, 7 or 8 starters from last year's championship not playing

Congrats to Aghadrumsee on their Junior Championship win, great result for the parish, they kept battling until end, looked like NTB had it won until that high ball was flicked in by Courtney.

Again commend Roslea GAA on their excellent facilities, a fantastic setup and lots of stewards, a brilliant example to all clubs on what can be achieved with the right people and vision.


The 2025 Ulster draw was as kind to Fermanagh as could hope, given current team a title is miles off but least such a draw might help entice players and give motivation. Fermanagh have been very lucky with home draws over the last 10 years.


Be interesting to see how the weekends provincial games go with the new rules and how Kieran Donnelly adapts to them.

Huge victory for Aghadrumsee and its hard to begrudge them their day in the sun, I don't think too many people in the county give them much of a chance before the game.

Tough one for Newtownbutler and their players/management, where do you go from that. Rumour was they have been approached after the weekend by a well known figure in fermanagh club football to take them next year along with an ex county senior footballer.

What about the games this weekend?

The most likely outcome would be two comfortable victories for Enniskillen and Irvinestown but looking forward to watching both games.

Erne Gaels will be hoping their investment works out whilst the rest of the clubs in fermanagh's committees praying they don't because it then becomes the template for how to win a championship. Throw 45k at it!

Congratulations to Lisnaskea.
Great effort after a long time in the wilderness.
Great to see them back in senior football .
Shams have a bit to go yet .
Senior football probably a bit too much for them yet
as a lot of their main players are still very young.


Onto the main event
Just another shambles .
Game should have been moved to the Saturday .
Everybody knew Sunday was going to be a bad day .
Was no day for a game of football

Such jealously exposed by a Tempo representative. First of all, what business is it of yours what Erne Gaels's strategy use! Maybe, if Tempo spent more on the team than they have digging out hills and still haven't proper dimensional playing areas and parking that is so chaotic that it will never be the preferred Fermanagh GAA standby stadium they strive for.

As for your predictions, one has already failed with Lisnaskea deservingly taking the honours! Tomorrow, in the senior final against E'n Gaels, whatever the result, Erne Gaels can walk away with they heads held high, something that will take Tempo a long, long time achieve!

Tough watch yesterday in Brewster in challenging conditions.
Both teams cancelled each other out .
But Erne Gaels will be kicking themselves .
A 30 yard kick in front of the posts and they drop it short with time up.
They may never get a better chance .
You have to wonder why Ultan didn't take it after hitting one successfully
a few minutes before further out..

I would start this message and say well done to beleek. That first win is always the tougher
Going by performance over the years and better teams winning the championship. I would say they have little to no chance of progressing. You never know on the day but those lads will just be happy to be there.

Good luck to Erne Gaels this weekend. Lets hope they can put in a performance and maybe cause an upset.

Disappointing result for Lisnaskea at the weekend. They were completely overrun. Perhaps shows up our level of football at the minute in the county, who knows?

Best of luck to Erne Gaels this weekend, they will represent Fermanagh with pride especially after a tough week given such sad circumstances.

Could be Ultan Kelms last game for a while with OZ on horizon

As expected Magheracloone cruised past Lisnaskea, huge gap there. Aghadrumsee were unlucky v Drumhowan.


PS, nice new alternate county kit with O Neil's, it will be popular for sure
