O’Conall Street

Are Fermanagh on the cusp of history? Could the Anglo Celt be heading to Erneside on Sunday night for the first time in history?

I was in Enniskillen during the week and the town is dressed in Green and White. No doubt about it this is a county and a team on the march. They will arrive at Clones underdogs to face the most formidable footballing force in Ulster but surely after all the YouTube videos, the battle of the songs, and the best build up in years, this could be Fermanagh’s day.

As the AIB used to say. It’s not what your county can do for you but what you can do for your county. The Heraldam was printed in sky blue yesterday morning as I joined the commuters heading into the city. There is an expectation that the blues will lift their fourth Leinster title in a row in Croker on Sunday yet the pre match buzz is still there in the Dublin air.  

TodayFM’s GAA blog has a good post on Dublin and Wexford’s Leinster stats. Dublin have won 47, Wexford 10.

Oisin and I will head off early in the morning through the Gap of the North to the capital. A quick stop in Fairview to meet the lads then on to Croke Park. Colin Moran is free to play after the Disputes Resolution Authority lifted his four week ban. The pundits say it’s ours. Can’t wait.
