Fermanagh humble Cork
Fermanagh stunned Cork with a six-point win at Croke Park
All Ireland qualifiers
Fermanagh celebrated a famous victory over Cork at Croke Park in the third round of the All-Ireland qualifiers.

The Young Ernesiders trailed by three points early in the second half but they stormed through for an amazing 0-18 to 0-12 victory.

They now go into the last 12 and will play one of the provincial runners-up with a quarter-final place at stake.

Stephen Maguire was top scorer for the Ulster side, landing six points while James Sherry got four.

Midfielder Marty McGrath, who was named man of the match, said the Fermanagh players had really believed they could pull it off.

"We expected to win. Cork were the favourites and people were saying we would be rolled over," said McGrath.

"But this is a young fighting team and hopefully we will fight again.

"In the next round we will have to step it up another gear."
