Armagh v Fermanagh

ULSTER CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL

Armagh v Fermanagh

Fermanagh manager Malachy O'Rourke has named an unchanged line-up for Sunday's Ulster SFC decider against Armagh.

Former All-Star Barry Owens, who came off the bench to score a goal in the semi-final win over Derry, must settle for a place among the substitutes.

Glentoran midfielder Shane McCabe is also on the bench for the Ernemen.

Marty McGrath captains the side from midfield, Ryan McCluskey starts at his usual centre-half back berth and Liam McBarron starts at full-forward.

Oisin McConville is a step closer to being in the Armagh team as manager Peter McDonnell says he is pleased with how the player is going in training.

"Oisin had an excellent session on Sunday morning," said McDonnell who did not use McConville from the bench in the semi-final win over Down.

"If he can put two or three of those back-to-back then I would be very otpimistic about him."

Armagh are expected to name their team on Thursday evening.

Erne boss O'Rourke had indicated that Owens, who is returning after heart surgery, would not be a starter for Fermanagh in the decider but may play a part in the game.

"He won't start - a fit Barry Owens would obviously be an automatic starter," he told the Irish News.

"I think it would be asking too much. He has only played a wee bit of club football.

"He played 15 minutes against Derry and hopefully he will be fit to play some more the next day.

"The day after the Derry game I was talking to him and even though he played ony 15 minutes he was absolutely exhausted and very sore. It took an awful lot out of him."


Armagh: tba.

Fermanagh: R Gallagher, S Goan, S McDermott, P Sherry, D Kelly, R MCCluskey, T McElroy, M McGrath (c), M Murphy, C McElroy, J Sherry, R Keenan, E Maguire, L McBarron, M Little.
