Under Rule 72 section 5, Mark Little is making a transfer to close neighbours and local rivals St. Patricks Donagh. Little qualifies for this transfer as he did not participate in any competitive club football for Lisnaskea Emmetts in the 2009 season (Unless he plays tommorow in the league final). In no small way did the little sporadic comments by the Fermanagh management make him play for his club to ensure his position on the County pannel. I can see this small issue of Little and the small area of Donagh Village becoming a large story and in no small way will the situation be helped by the continuing downturn in the economic conditions.

The guy was begged by several committee guys to come back. Ppl on here haven't got a clue. The only reason he's not playin for skea is cause he doesn't want to! Also heard that Mal alrteady has him in place for nxt year. If this is so then the clubs of Fermanagh should be up in arms but i doubt it!!

glad to hear he is in place for next year fermanagh cant afford to lose good players when you go to watch your county play you would expect to see a manager using his head and select a good panel lets face it theres not many to replace him at the minute anyway he is the only good player who had to leave the emmetts in recent years

In response to Squareball, in my opinion Mark Little should not be allowed to line out for Fermanagh. i am in no doubt that he is a fantastic footballer and has given many years service to both club and county, but the lack of club football will have an impact on his skills, this was evident in this years championship. I believe that this is what is wrong with the current county team, too many players are being selected on their supposed ability as opposed to their current form, and if a player has not performed well for his club ( or indeed in this case as with some other players not played for their club), then why should they be asked onto the panel. I bet that if all clubs got together, a team could be put out that would beat the county team, with both the players not asked onto the county panel and players not wishing to join the panel. So here is the start of a new topic, select the best of the rest in Fermanagh that could compete with the current side (whatever that turns out to be).

I agree with fellow gael.finally someone talking sense on this issue and yes if Mc Grath is not playing for his club then he shouldn't be considered either

Have been told that Little is all but signed......Not good for Skea as he is by far the best player they have...it will show next year.....

Little and McGrath will be some addition to Skea if they would play!

If Little signs for St Pats it would be great for Lisnaskea because of the following 1. He sighted the reason (sorry should I say one of the many reasons for not playing for Skea) was that there were playing in division 2. Not knocking St Pats but it is not looking good for them at the minute to retain their Division 1 Status. 2. If they do stay up what more of an incentive will there be for Lisnaskea to beat St Pats if Little is playing. 3. It will finally end all the rumours of him signing for Cavan Gaels, Newtownbutler, Dromore and the list goes on!!!!

I haven't heard that Mark Little was looking to come to us but I did hear he was looking at Donagh, Newtownbutler and Ederney. At the ay things are going in your league system it looks like is options are limited to Newtownbutler or Ederney. Also, I hear Fintona's Mccarron is looking at Ederney as well as he is working near to there now.

Wat all the chat about as Little has agreed to stay with Skea?

Little IS going to play with Skea next season according to their club officials.

OBVIOUSELY the Lisnaskea officials are been kept in the dark on this matter. He would hardly tell them sorry lads I'm moving to Donagh. Would he now? Be sinsible about the thing man.
