Shane McGuigan converts a free that he won himself after a clumsy tackle. Was he inside the square? Either way, he takes the point after Ronan O'Toole had landed a third point from play for the Lakesiders.

Patrick McBride free and the gap is now just one.

Eunan Mulholland lands a fine point for Derry, who follow it up with an important turnover to thwart a Westmeath attack. The Derry fans loved that one.

After a quiet opening 20 minutes, there's a chance a game may break out.

Substitutes Garvan Jones and Eoin Hynds trade points and Peter Healy then thumps over another for Antrim. Two between them with six to play.

Jamie Gonoud puts Westmeath back in front.

Lynch has changed into a predominantly white jersey, so Westmeath fears are allayed.

There's a strangely subdued atmosphere in Pairc Esler but Lachlann Murray lands Derry's first point from play after 18 minutes and it raises the spirits of the Oak Leaf fans. Derry hadn't scored for 13 minutes.

That's Mick Byrne's third converted 45 of the day and just a goal separates the teams but that margin could be even closer but for a pair of poor wides. 10 to play and Antrim now have the momentum.

No, it's not the Tour de France but there are green jersey issues in Newry with Odhran Lynch's goalkeeper's jersey causing confusion for Westmeath, who are not in their traditional maroon colours, but in their second strip of green jerseys and white shorts.

With Lynch spending so much time out the field, perhaps Westmeath are worried they may mistake him for one of their own.

Ronan O'Toole has a great left foot and shows everyone in Newry what's he about by pointing his second score of the game. Westmeath showing good intent in these early stages.

That's Dominic McEnhill with a score as all three of Antrim's subs in that triple change have registered.

Shane McGuigan's attempt at a point comes off the post and is nearly bundled into the net by Brendan Rogers. When things are going your way, those go in.

At the other end, Derry goalkeeper Odhran Lynch is then forced to pull off a good save from James Dolan.

A Joe McDade point is cancelled out by Connor Hand as Antrim get to within five, but you feel they really need a goal as the game moves into the final quarter.

Ronan O'Toole points from an acute angle for Westmeath in the sixth minute.

There's a decent sized crowd in Newry and both sets of supporters will be hoping for the best and fearing the worst in this win-or-bust game.

Conor Glass gets the opening score of the game in Newry with a '45' for Derry.

The ball is thrown in at Pairc Esler. Here we go. We're hearing that Conor Doherty and Niall Toner are not part of the Derry panel tonight. They have been been replaced by Ciaran McFaul and Eoin McEvoy in the Oak Leaf line-up.

The Fermanagh lead is briefly extended through Ronan McCaffrey as Antrim make a triple change with Dominic McEnhill, Conor Hand and Peter Healy all introduced.

Healy wastes little time to get involved with a score to bring the margin back to six.

The second half has just got underway at Brewster Park with Fermanagh holding a commanding six-point lead.

They have been very impressive in the opening half on the counter and have given Antrim very little encouragement.

The Saffrons really need to change it up as the long ball into Ruairi McCann is being snuffed out.
