U14 Squad faces the hardest draw
Football: Milk Cup - The Northern
Ireland Milk Cup opens next Monday
with a parade through the streets of
Coleraine to the Showgrounds for
the opening by Blackburn Rovers
manager, Graeme Souness. Both
Fermanagh teams will experience
the atmosphere of the opening
parade as expected hundreds of
supporters from the Erne county are
to enjoy a week of quality football in
Europe’s top youth tournament. U16
manager, Graham Brown, appealed
for the supporters to come out to the
county’s games at both age groups
and give the teams the type of
support the U16s received in their
win over Tyrone in the Northern Bank
Trophy quarter final last year at Ruby
Avenue - he felt it made the
difference on the night.

Cleenish put in dominant show
for first title
GAA Fermanagh Ladies Junior
Championship Final: Cleenish 6-09,
Lisnaskea 0-08 - Cleenish claimed
their first ever Fermanagh Junior
Championship title last Saturday with
a thoroughly deserved victory over
Lisnaskea at a well attended final at
McManus Park, Kinawley. A totally
dominant first half performance laid
the foundations for this impressive
victory and Lisnaskea will
undoubtedly rue the sending off of
Lynette Maguire in the opening
minute. The margin of victory
however, should not allow the
dismissal to negate the fact that this
was a much deserved victory in
which the stronger team prevailed.
