may have taken two years to arrive, but
when the Buy and Sell Circuit of Ireland
Rally finally hit town on Easter Saturday, it
was the greatest motor sport spectacle that
Fermanagh has ever witnessed, and it also
turned out to be one of the greatest
weekend’s of Andrew Nesbitt’s rallying
career, as the Armagh man took his maiden
Circuit victory.

Truly historic for Mervyn and Austin
RALLYING: Circuit of Ireland Rally 2002 -

finish, the Fermanagh pairing of Mervyn
Johnson and Austin Frazer received the
laurels and the Champagne at the finish
ramp on Monday afternoon.

Three tries leave Skins singing in the Valley
RUGBY: Junior Cup second round: Clogher
Valley 19 Enniskillen 21 - Should
Enniskillen end up being relegated this
season there will at least be one silver lining
to that particularly dark cloud. Clogher
Valley are now Qualifying Two certainties
next season, and if Skins join them there will
be the chance of another two local derby
matches, which have brightened what has
been an otherwise fairly gloomy season for
local rugby.

GAA: Ulster U21 Championship Preliminary
Round Replay: Fermanagh 1-10; Donegal
2-10 - Fermanagh made their exit from this
year’s Ulster U-21 championship when they

deserved their victory to set up a clash with
Derry this Saturday in the first round.
