Ambitious Fermanagh should have enough to beat Antrim

Even without Ryan McCluskey they should win all-Ulster battle

Having pulled off the shock of the round – maybe the shock of the year – against Laois, it will be interesting to see what sort of momentum Antrim carry with them here.

The three players dropped on the morning of the Laois game are still on the bench so obviously Frank Fitzsimons has faith in what he's got.

They face a Fermanagh side that won easily enough first day out and shouldn’t have lost by as much to Monaghan.

And though Ryan McCluskey is a big loss, they're a well-drilled outfit with ambitions beyond the early rounds of the qualifiers. They should have enough here.
Verdict: Fermanagh
