Fermanagh manager Pete McGrath hopes to have both Richard O'Callaghan and Tomas Corrigan available for action against Wexford on Sunday.

Both men sustained injuries in the win over Limerick on March 15th but McGrath believes they could yet be fit for duty at Wexford Park this weekend, where victory would secure promotion to Division Two for the Ernemen.

"I'd be very hopeful that I'll be picking from a full corps of players," the Down legend says in The Irish News. "Richie came out against Limerick close to half time. He's got a pelvic problem that's been niggling him since the start of the league and he would be our major doubt at this stage.

"Tomas came off about 13 minutes from the end but that was more precautionary than anything else and we'll keep an eye on them both and see what way they go in training.

"We understand the significance of Sunday's game - if we get a win we are definitely promoted, so there's a lot at stake and since the game last week against Limerick things have gone well, we've trained well.

"There's a lot of positivity about the camp and players are feeling confident that if they go to Wexford and perform somewhere near their true potential they've every possibility of winning the game. But Wexford are at the wrong end of the table, they're looking for points and no game at this level of football is easy."
