ULSTER SFC QUARTER FINAL/Cavan v Fermanagh:THEY MEET for the second successive year at the same stage and on the same ground.

Tommy Carr survived a potential ousting by the county board over the winter months mainly because the players stood behind him, and that has created a renewed sense of intent. He includes six championship debuts; goalkeeper Fintan Reilly, backs Tomas Corr, Eoin McGuigan and Alan Clarke, midfielder David Givney, and forwards Gareth Smith and Michael Brennan.

Fermanagh had a poor league, losing to Cavan, amongst others, and ended up relegated to Division Four. There are three debutants in corner back Barry Mulrone, wing back Daniel Ward and corner forward Chris O’Brien.

FERMANAGH: Ronan Gallagher; N Bogue, S Lyons, B Mulrone; D Ward, R McCluskey, T McElroy; J Sherry, M McGrath; D Keenan, R Carson, M Little; P Ward, Rory Gallagher, C O’Brien.

CAVAN: F Reilly; D Sheridan, T Corr, M Cahill; P Brady, E McGuigan, A Clarke; C Galligan, D Givney; R Flanagan, G Smith, M McKeever; C Mackey, S Johnston, M Brennan.

Referee: P Fox (Westmeath).

In the Last Episode: Cavan's one-point win this time last year will be well recalled by both teams. You Bet: The home team have the bookies backing too at 4/7, with Fermanagh no better than 15/8.

Gaining Ground: Home advantage has to count for something here.

Just The Ticket: Patrons can pay into the Open Seating and Terrace at the gate. Terrace €15/£13; Open Seating €25/£21; OAP Open Seating €15/£13; Under-16s free into open seating and terrace.

Crystal Gazing:This should be a fairly clear picture of Cavan's determination to progress and close in on an Ulster final.
