ALL-IRELAND QUALIFIERS, FIRST ROUND

Fermanagh, play Wicklow at Aughrim in their All-Ireland first round qualifier and have named a full-back line of Niall Bogue, Hugh Brady and Shane Goan.

Ryan McCluskey will play at centre half back for the Ernemen.

Shane Lyons, Shane McDermott, Barry Owens and Liam McBarron must all settle for a place on the bench.

Fermanagh will be out to make amends for their one-point defeat at the hands of Cavan in the first round of the Ulster Championship.

Three new members of the squad, Niall McGovern, Seamus Quigley and Paul Cosgrove have been named on the subs bench.

Midfielder Marty McGrath says that Wicklow will "not be easy opposition" in Aughrim.

"They are a very fit team and there is the Mick O'Dwyer factor as well," McGrath told BBC Sport.

The former All Star acknowledges that Erne morale took a major hit after the Cavan defeat.

"I'd like to think it has picked up a bit but at the time, it took a bit of a battering. There's no point denying that.

"We've had four weeks to wait since that game but we could have been waiting a year."


Fermanagh: C Breen; N Bogue, H Brady, S Goan; P Sherry, R McCluskey, T McElroy; M McGrath, J Sherry; R Keenan, C McElroy, M Little; D Keenan, R Carson, E Maguire.
