We did tell you it was a beauty.
There wasn’t much for Fermanagh fans to cheer about this afternoon despite their win over Antrim in what by all accounts was a fairly turgid encounter in the Ulster championship.
Pete McGrath’s side did book an Ulster quarter-final spot with Donegal after a 1-12 to 0-9 but their win in Brewster Park was hard work for everyone in the 9,000+ crowd.
0-9 to 0-2 ahead at the break, the Erne men eased off in the second period, only for Antrim to storm back into the game, before Sean Quigley, and his Joe Brolly like goal-scoring touch, and crowd kissing antics, finished the game off.
The match was easily one of the worst of the GAA season, and it’s only a few weeks old.
But one man did rise above to put on an exhibition of point scoring.
Not a bad start for #EdzHanzCnmB YBCY @Gaelic_Life c/o Tomas Corrigan's 9 points.
As only player, I'll take that..

We know Tomás Corrigan is a genius from frees, but the acid test in championship action, was where he would be truly measured.
And he rose to the occasion superbly on Sunday, as he slotted two sideline frees out of his total of 0-9, and this one captured on camera should be beyond the bounds of physics.
This is the second of his astounding efforts and would be worth the price of admission alone.

Tomas Corrigan does it again, sideline ball and he pops it over the bar, what a score! Fermanagh 0-9 v Antrim 0-1

The highlights did not do the forwards justice.

Fermanagh now go ahead to face Donegal in the Ulster quarter-final where Corrigan will fancy his chances of repeating this outstanding effort.
