Fermanagh Senior Football Championship Final refixture details confirmed

The Fermanagh county board has confirmed the fixture details and contingency plans for the refixed Senior Football Championship final.

Enniskillen Gaels and Erne Gaels, Belleek were due to clash at Brewster Park on Sunday, but the pitch was deemed unplayable following two inspections.

Heavy rain throughout the week had left the fixture in doubt, although Saturday’s Intermediate decider did go ahead at Brewster following an inspection with Devenish beating Tempo 1-8 to 0-5.

However, the senior final will now take place on Sunday, October 30 at 2.30pm at Brewster Park.

In a statement, the Fermanagh county board also confirmed that a precautionary inspection will take place at the Enniskillen venue on Saturday with an alternative being put on standby if the pitch is still deemed unplayable.

The statement read: “Today’s (Sunday’s) Mannok SFC Final between Enniskillen Gaels and Erne Gaels, Belleek was not played due to the pitch being unplayable. The game has therefore been rearranged for next Sunday, October 30 with a 2.30pm throw-in at Brewster Park, Enniskillen.

“Apologies to all those who travelled to the game but, despite the best efforts of a large number of volunteers, it was just not possible to get the pitch into a playable condition.

"A pitch inspection will be held next Saturday and an alternative venue will be identified for the same time slot if Brewster Park remains unplayable.

“Further details will be circulated on ticketing details for the rearranged game in due course.”

The winners of the Fermanagh SFC will face Cavan champions Gowna in the Ulster Club SFC quarter-final next month.
