The groupings, times, dates and fixtures for the upcoming Fermanagh Club Championships were confirmed after last Sunday’s SFL Finals.
There is a new format for this year’s SFC and IFC with group stages now replacing straight knock-out.
The SFC will see eight teams compete in two groups of four.
Group A includes Erne Gaels, Derrygonnelly, Belnaleck and Teemore, with Kinawley, Enniskillen, Ederney and Roslea in Group B.
Each team will have one home game and one away with the final group game at a neutral venue.
The top team in each group will progress to the semi-finals while second place in a group will have home advantage over third in the other group in the quarter finals. The bottom two sides in each group will contest the relegation play-off.
The IFC will have the same format with Group A consisting of Belcoo, Maguiresbridge, Devenish and Derrylin, while Group B includes Tempo, Irvinestown, Lisnaskea and St. Pat’s.
The action will get under way next Friday night when Enniskillen host Ederney at Brewster Park with some mouthwatering games to follow over three action-packed weeks in the group stages.
The fixtures are as follows.
