Sherry settles it

Fermanagh 2-6 Roscommon 0-11

JAMES SHERRY swooped to land the winning goal to give Fermanagh two points that they scarcely deserved against Roscommon at Brewster Park on Saturday.

Ryan Carson had scored the other three pointer for the home team with Donal Shine once again in inspired point scoring form for Roscommon.

The full forward hit six points, five from frees, to give Roscommon the lead going into the final 10 minutes but Sherry and Fermanagh refused to give up and the managed the winning score in the last minute of play.
