Declan Bonner is sticking to what he knows with Paul Brennan confirmed as part of his new Fermanagh managerial set-up. 

The former Donegal boss and 1992 All-Ireland winner currently has Brennan beside him in the dugout as coach at Erne Gaels, Belleek. Brennan is also an ex-Donegal star and won two Ulster SFC titles under Bonner.

And both men will be side by side this afternoon as Gaels take on Ederney at Brewster Park in the Fermanagh SFC semi-final.

"We’re in Division 3 and I think it’s important to get into Division 2, that has to be the plan going forward," Bonner said. 

"Ultimately, we want to build a squad of players, 25, 30 lads that really want to be there representing Fermanagh and taking them to the next level.

"The league is going to be the first competition we’ll be in, then we’re in the Ulster championship and then ultimately into the Tailteann Cup.

"It’ll be about getting the guys together first, looking at where we can take them and the league will have to be up there as a high priority."

On Brennan coming on board, he added: “Yeah, that was an easy decision. I’ve managed Paul as a player and worked beside him for the last few years as well. 

“He brings real experience and knowledge to the role, and as a coac,h he has a real edge on the training field. Players love that”.
