The hunger will return
GAA: Championship football in August is,
after all, not everything it is cracked up to be
as Fermanagh tumbled out of the All Ireland
championship in rather ungraceful fashion
following a 19 point defeat at the hands of
their neighbours Tyrone in Croke Park on
Sunday.

Corrigan was no longer the downcast,

plotting how to improve matters and to bring
further progress to the Fermanagh team.

Mallards pay the penalty
Football: Ballinamallard 0 Linfield 1 – As the
full-time whistle sounded at Ferney Park last

could be heard saying in his recognisable
“Sammy” accent, “them lads put up a good
show.”

Garry gets back on track
Rallying: Five rally drivers left Fermanagh
last week for the Manx Rally in the Isle of

the original entrants reaching the finish line
in Douglas on Saturday evening.
