One club, one county.
And for the hurlers of Fermanagh, that is very much the case as they begin their Nicky Rackard campaign this afternoon against Monaghan in Brewster Park.
The search for Croke Park glory today begins for Seamus McCusker and his troops, and he should have no problem with players not getting along with each other.
Normally you could have issues with players from rival clubs clashing in county training after “over-enthusiastic ” club games .
However, the Fermanagh county hurling panel is entirely made up of players from one single club, Lisbellaw St Patrick’s

The bizarre situation occurs every year, as Fermanagh incredibly has only one hurling club within its borders.
So if you want to play county, and think you are handy with a hurl, Lisbellaw is the place to be.
UPDATE: The Fermanagh lads played most of their game, today, with 14 men but fought gamely until the end.
