MOURNE ERNE VICTORY RIGHT AT THE DEATH

"SOMEBODY says Dick Turpin wore a mask!" Down coach Mickey Donnelly admitted the Mournemen got out of jail as they staged a late smash-and-grab raid with two late goals to deny Fermanagh a famous win in Saturday's Ulster SFC quarter-final at Brewster Park.

The Erne County were chasing their first win in the provincial series since 2018 and were seven points up with seven minutes remaining thanks to a five-point haul from Enniskillen native Conor Love.

However, a 1-2 salvo from Daniel Guinness turned the game on its head before back-to-back points from Pat Havern levelled things.

Down's comeback was complete when Ryan McEvoy slotted past Sean McNally with two minutes to go.

"I'm sure Fermanagh are devastated and rightly so - they deserved to win the game," added Donnelly.

"They came with a real, strong game plan."
