After the disappointing defeats suffered by Down and Antrim earlier in the day, Fermanagh spare Ulster's blushes in the football qualifiers as they edge out Wexford 0-19 to 1-11.
Ireland and Ulster rugby star Tommy Bowe sends a good luck message to his countymen. Tommy hails from the village of Emyvale.
Donegal win the curtain-raiser at Breffni Park on a 3-15 2-12 scoreline. Well done to them.
So after the Ulster Football Championship finally served up a contest last weekend, we have the province's now seemingly annual arm wrestle between holders Monaghan and 2012 All-Ireland kingpins Donegal.
The sides have met in the last three Ulster deciders. Monaghan dethroned the then Sam Maguire holders on a 0-13 to 0-7 scoreline in 2013. Revenge was Donegal's a year later as Jim McGuinness' squad grafted out a 0-15 to 1-9 success. But 11 months ago the Farney men were back in the winners enclosure as they edged a 0-11 to 0-10 victory over a Donegal side now guided by Rory Gallagher.
More recent form saw Monaghan fighting back from an early seven-point deficit to beat Donegal 1-10 to 1-9 in the league in early April.
There's never much in it between these rivals.
