One of the teams carrying a real sense of momentum through this year's All-Ireland football qualifiers is Fermanagh.
Defeating Antrim and Roscommon along the way, they are now up against Leinster championship runners-up Westmeath at Breffni Park in our live qualifier on Off The Ball this Saturday.
While Westmeath have had some high-profile games, Fermanagh are a bit of an unknown quantity and Niall McCoy of Gaelic Life joined Off The Ball to talk about what their manager Pete McGrath has brought to their cause.
"Peter McGrath is one of the best man-managers in Ireland. When he took the job, you would have had a lot of people wondering would he have been cut for the modern game. What Pete's done very smartly is that he's left the new defensive structure to Brian Treacy, the coach," said McCoy, who added that fitness coaching and bringing in a psychologist have helped McGrath concentrate on peerless man-management of his troops.
