Fermanagh loathe to change winning team
Updated: Friday, 20 Jun 2008 08:13
Fermanagh have named an unchanged side for Saturday's Ulster SFC semi-final clash with Derry in Omagh.
That means that Liam McBarron will occupy the full-forward position for the Ernesiders again after replacing Shane McDermott there before throw-in in the win over Monaghan.
Derry manager Paddy Crozier has been forced into a number of changes due to injury and suspension.
Goalkeeper John Deighan is out after he picked up an ankle injury in a club game, so Shane McGuckin joins the panel as a replacement 'keeper.
Defender Seán Marty Lockhart also misses out after he incurred a quad muscle injury while playing for his club St Mary's. Francis McEldowney takes his place in the team.
Joe Keenan, Michael McBride and Liam Hinphey are all ruled out through injury.
Midfielder Fergal Doherty begins his four-week ban he received for lashing out at Donegal's Rory Kavanagh in the last round.
FERMANAGH team to play Derry in the Ulster SFC in Omagh on Saturday at 6.00pm:
R Gallagher; S Goan, H Brady, P Sherry; D Kelly, R McCluskey, T McElroy; M McGrath (capt), M Murphy, C McElroy, J Sherry, R Keenan; E Maguire, L McBarron, M Little.
DERRY team:
B Gillis; K McGuckin, K McCloy (capt), F McEldowney; G O'Kane, N McCusker, M McIvor; J Conway, J Diver, M Lynch, P Murphy, E Muldoon; C Gilligan, P Bradley, E Bradley.
