Fermanagh and Longford unveil teams for TG4 Intermediate Championship relegation clash

TG4 All Ireland Intermediate Championship – Relegation Final – Result on the day     

SATURDAY – Fermanagh v Longford, 1.00pm, Ballymachugh, Cavan  

In a winner-takes-all shoot-out in Ballymachugh, Fermanagh and Longford fight it out to avoid relegation from the intermediate championship grade.

For Fermanagh, defeat would represent a setback after they won the TG4 All-Ireland junior crown last year to gain promotion.

But the Erne County are staring at a swift return to the junior ranks, unless they can see off Longford on Saturday.

The Midlanders lost to Laois and Sligo in their qualifier group to finish bottom of the pile, and must now rouse themselves for a crucial fixture.

There’s plenty of class in both ranks, with Eimear Smyth in the Fermanagh inside line a noted scorer, while Michelle Farrell is a key player for Longford at midfield.

With so much at stake, this one should be a keenly-contested encounter.
