Sean McNally wasn't going to miss Luton Town seal their return to the top flight of English football for the first time in 31 years.

But he was also not going to miss a training session with Fermanagh as they continue their preparations for their final group game in the Tailteann Cup this weekend.

Last Saturday morning saw the Fermanagh keeper train with the rest of the squad before he rushed off to catch a flight to London where Luton Town took on Coventry City in the Championship Play-Off Final at Wembley.

Having been born in Luton, and with his father and grandparents still living there, it is not a surprise that he has followed the team, who just nine years ago were playing non-league football.

"I've been to about 10-15 games throughout the years," explained McNally, who had a bit of a rush to see his team.

"I trained on Saturday morning. My flight was delayed. I flew into Gatwick, and I was running through the airport and train stations.

"I ran up Wembley Way and got to Wembley. They were checking to my bag and Luton just scored as I got to my seat.

"So, I just missed the goal. I was raging."

But he was there to witness them beat Coventry on penalties. And now that he has seen that, it's back to full focus on Fermanagh and their next game against Antrim.

A win for Fermanagh would see them top Group Four and go directly into the quarter-finals. Anything less and they will go into the preliminary quarter-finals and a another chance to make the quarters proper.

Fermanagh and Antrim played in Division Three earlier in the year, with Fermanagh's late surge sealing a one-point win.

McNally knows the threat the Saffrons pose as well as the added bonus of avoiding an extra game in the competition.

"Antrim will be difficult, but we want to get another win," he said.

"You obviously want to go straight into the quarter final, and you don’t want to be playing an extra game. To get a bit of rest and a week’s extra training would be good."

Antrim have racked up 5-33 in their two games in Group Four so far, while Fermanagh have been somewhat hit and miss.

"They have looked sharp in a few games since we played them in the league. I’ve seen they score a right bit and get a few goals as well."

McNally admits that Fermanagh have not reached their full potential in the opening two games: "We didn’t beat Wexford which we should have done, and we made Leitrim a harder test than it should have been. It should have been an easier win.

"We just need to cut out the silly mistakes. If we cut out them, we should be all right. We have been playing well in games but letting the other teams get purple patches which has let us down."

If they get it right on Sunday in Armagh, Fermanagh will move one step closer in their bid for silverware.

"You want to cement that top spot in the group and get straight into the quarter final.

"It’s a quick turnaround if you don’t top the group and then another week from that.

"You get two weeks of training and recovery and then it’s only two games to win to get to the final," McNally concluded.

And like Luton, McNally will be hoping for something to celebrate again if Fermanagh do get to the Tailteann Cup final.
