Fermanagh v Down tips - back Fermanagh

Fermanagh v Down throws in at 15:30 at Brewster Park on Sunday afternoon

This game really is a puzzle. Down’s record in Brewster Park stinks like the aftermath of a feed of Guinness and a dodgy curry. Fermanagh went through Division 4 unbeaten before getting stuffed by Wicklow in the final in Croker.
Wicklow were beaten by 5 by Meath last weekend, so their form is under question.

Down, though retaining Division one status, are no world beaters either. After their 2010 All-Ireland final appearance, last year was a disappointment. The Mourne men were blessed to leave Ennis with a Qualifier win, and they had enough of it against Leitrim too.

While Peter Canavan has successfully delivered Fermanagh to Division 3 football next year, Championship is where it’s at. Going unbeaten through the league can instil confidence in a side, and the manner of their final loss may have focussed the minds ahead of Sunday.

Fermanagh look better than the Clare and Leitrim sides that shook Down last year, but with Ambrose Rodgers, Danny Hughes and Aidan Carr back in harness Down look better too.

The loss to Down of Dan Gordon means Conor Garvey may be called to deputise at full-back. That’s not ideal. Another positive for Fermanagh is that Brewster Park is worth a couple of points to the home side. Rumours circulating that Fermanagh full forward Seamus Quigley has left the panel seem wide of the mark, and the big man is likely to play at least some part. Ryan McCluskey is a major loss, both in terms of ability and leadership, but this Fermanagh squad have a new found determination about them.

Down at 2/5 is less attractive than a root canal without anaesthetic. Take Fermanagh to shade a low-scoring encounter and banish the pain of 2011.
