NFL Division 3: Saffrons maintain promotion push
Antrim remain on course for back-to-back promotion after they recorded a double-scores victory over Ulster rivals Fermanagh at Casement Park last night.
Antrim 0-16
Fermanagh 0-8
The visitors were poor and managed just four points in either half as newly-promoted Antrim made it three wins from three starts. Paddy Cunningham once again impressed for Liam Bradley's side by scoring 0-7, 0-5 from frees.
Fermanagh kept pace with the hosts before they lost their free-taker and target man Ryan Carson, who was red carded for an off-the-ball offence.
Antrim kicked on and led 0-8 to 0-4 at half-time, and were never troubled during a one-sided second half to make it three wins from three in Division 3.
