Kinawley come into this game after a comfortable victory over Coa while Lisnaskea caused an upset by beating Division One side Belcoo, with two points to spare. 
Both teams have secured a place in the promotion play-offs with Kinawley finishing equal on points but just behind St Pat’s while the Emmetts nabbed fourth spot on the final day of the league.
Kinawley have beaten Lisnaskea twice this season in the league but the last day out the Emmetts were missing players of the calibre of Daniel Kille, Mark Little and Mark McKenna due to a wedding, so the Borus won’t be reading too much into that result.
Kinawley has been the form team this season in Division Two but Sunday will be their biggest test under new manager Mark Monaghan. 
Lisnaskea will be hoping to reach the dizzy heights of 2010, when they went on to claim All Ireland honours under reigning manager Peter Clarke.
Both teams have a good blend of youth and experience and two of the more experienced and familiar names on the team sheets is that of Sean Leonard and Mark McKenna. 
Leonard is in his 20th year of playing championship football for the Borus and the oldest player on the team but the 36 year old is feeling as hungry as ever for success:
“I have won two championships, in 2007 and 2009, but we’re mad to win another. Every time you go out to play in the championship you want to win and realistically the opportunities to do so are getting fewer and fewer for me. 
“The pace is a step up from the league but I feel like I’m in as good as shape now as I have been in the last few years, so if I’m called upon, hopefully I can do a job.”
Some people may be tipping the Borus given their fine run of form but experience has taught Leonard that you write Lisnaskea off at your peril:
“In the last game in the league Lisnaskea gave us a very tough game, it was close up until the last ten and they were without their key players. 
“They’ve had a couple of league wins to get into the top four and then they beat Belcoo which would suggest we have as much to prove against them as they have against us. They probably have as talented a team going forward, as there is in the county.”
“Tom Clarke in midfield is a very strong player and he dominated against Belcoo. He is their primary ball winner, so we’re going to need to be able to break even in that area. We need to limit the number of frees we give away as well because Daniel Kille will punish us, if we don’t.”
Kinawley had ten points to spare over Coa in their quarter final, but Leonard attributes the margin of victory to the absence of Coa’s captain, Eoin Donnelly:
“Eoin Donnelly was a massive loss to Coa. For the first half hour of the game they gave as good as they got. I suppose a few of the returning players didn’t have the legs in the final stages of the game and that cost them. 
“Lisnaskea have a bigger squad though and they’ve been training together all year, tiredness will not be a factor with them.”
On the opposing side, Mark McKenna has 16 years championship experience under his belt but has only one championship medal to show for it.
 On Sunday evening, McKenna is confident they can exact a bit of revenge for the two defeats inflicted upon them by Kinawley this year:
“They (Kinawley) will be going in as favourites, they’ve beaten us twice and they have a lot of good players. They are an honest, hard working team and we know we’ll need to be at our best to beat them.”
McKenna says this is the first time this year the Emmetts have their full compliment of players available to choose from and he believes the middle third is where the game will be decided.
Up front Lisnaskea have a good array of scoring outlets. 
Mark Little, Niall McElroy and Daniel Kille could cause any defence in the county trouble. 
Kinawley will need James Allen, Sean McManus and Daniel McGovern to keep tight to these men. 
A question mark still looms over the involvement of Niall Bogue after he received a red card against Coa. 
Kinawley lodged an appeal but at the time of writing the outcome had yet to be decided on whether or not Bogue plays a part. 
Kinawley are expecting a decision on Thursday (tonight) night.
Both teams crave senior championship football next year but it’s who wants it most will determine the outcome of Sunday’s game. 
Nobody will be expecting a runaway victory, that’s for sure.
