Fermanagh achieve goals
GAA: Cavan 1-08 Fermanagh 2-06 –
A depleted Fermanagh versus a
resurgent Cavan was the preface to
this game played in Kingscourt,
Cavan on Sunday last and it was
Fermanagh who turned the form
book on its head to claim a deserved
victory although it has to be said that
they were hanging on by their
fingertips in the dying minutes. This
was a deserved victory not only
because they took to the field without,
Paul Brewster, Paddy McGuinness,
Tom Brewster, Ronan Gallagher,
Liam McBarron and lost influential
full forward Stephen Maguire at half
time with a shoulder injury but also
because they fought tenaciously for
every ball and when presented with
chances to score, in stark contrast to
their rivals, they proved more
efficient. Moreover, Fermanagh did
not put themselves under pressure
by conceding possession by poor
distribution and their all round play
was of a much higher standard than
the previous display against Laois.
Indeed, the pleasing aspect from
John Maughan’s point of view would
be that when their backs were
against the wall, at the start of the
game and in the dying minutes, the
players responded positively and
played to their capabilities. What is
needed now, is a degree of
consistency but at least from a
performance viewpoint the players
and management have given
themselves a platform to work from.
