The new Tyrone county manager was quick to point out two reasons why the Fermanagh could pip Errigal to the post. Firstly, his team could suffer from fatigue after playing their fifth muscle-sapping game in as many weeks. Plus the fact that the Gaels are on a bit of a role. ''Tags are what they are. Just tags,'' said Harte, whose team dispensed with Crossmaglen after two replays and All-Ireland champions Ballinderry in successive rounds. ''There are no favourites going into next Sunday's game.
''Enniskillen have just completed a five-in-a-row in Fermanagh and they have played a lot more football in the Ulster club championship than us,'' he said. ''People just make a team the favourites, but I can assure you we don't make ourselves the favourites. ''Obviously there is a bit of fatigue in the side, but I don't think there are any injuries which are going to be lasting.'' However, skipper Eoin Gormley who missed the Sunday's victory over Ballinderry with a hamstring. Gaels, meanwhile, have no injury worries and are hopeful of bringing the title back to Enniskillen in the 75th anniversary season. | See also: 24 Nov 02 | N Ireland 25 Nov 02 | N Ireland 14 Nov 02 | N Ireland Internet links: The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites Top N Ireland stories now: Links to more N Ireland stories are at the foot of the page. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
