Former Tyrone ace Ronan O’Neill says Kieran Donnelly’s knowledge of the Red Hands should help Fermanagh be competitive on Saturday, but he ultimately expects the All-Ireland champions to prevail.
The current Erne County boss is a teacher at Omagh CBS and, like O’Neill, several past and present Tyrone players played MacRory Cup football under Donnelly’s guidance including the likes of Peter Harte, Conor Meyler and Niall Sludden.
Harte, however, looks set to miss the Ulster SFC opener in Brewster Park after having his appendix removed recently, while the versatile Mattie Donnelly has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.
