Ulster Senior Football Championship Quarter-Final

Fermanagh v Armagh, Brewster Park, 7pm

A spring packed with promise for these two teams, who attained promotion from Division Three of the Allianz Football League.

The first aim in the year has been realised with Armagh eventually claiming silverware in a surprisingly open encounter at Croke Park.

It is unlikely to be as wild and loose on Saturday evening which Kieran McGeeney acknowledged within minutes of last month's decider at GAA headquarters.

There won't be any shortage of intrigue, though, because both outfits will feel that they can make strides in Ulster.

That is what Fermanagh and Armagh intend to do so a revealing 70 minutes awaits in Enniskillen.

Armagh's 2017 backdoor adventure featured wins over Fermanagh, Westmeath, Tipperary, and Kildare before a disappointing loss to Tyrone at the Quarter-Final stage.

Fermanagh have enjoyed a restorative spring with Rory Gallagher at the helm with belief and confidence returning to their system.

FERMANAGH: Patrick Cadden; Kane Connor, Che Cullen, Michael Jones; Barry Mulrone, James McMahon, Lee Cullen; Eoin Donnelly, Ryan Jones; Paul McCusker, Declan McCusker, Aidan Breen; Sean Quinley, Conall Jones, Seamus Quigley.

ARMAGH: Blaine Hughes; Patrick Burns, Connaire Mackin, Aaron McKay; Charlie Vernon, Gregory McCabe, Aidan Forker; Brendan Donaghy, Niall Grimley; Colm Watters, Mark Shields, Ben Crealey; Gavin McParland, Andrew Murnin, Rory Grugan.
