Fermanagh forward Declan McCusker admits that the side's aim is to get back to Croke Park again this year.

The Ulster side met Dublin in the All-Ireland SFC quarterfinal at GAA headquarters last year and McCusker told the Fermanagh Herald that their aim was to get back there.

However, Pete McGrath's charges have a few obstacles to cross before that dream can come to fruition, starting with Saturday's qualifier clash against Wexford.

"We want to get back playing in Croke Park," said McCusker. "We want to play another one of those big teams, or so-called bigger teams and get a result against one of them.

"That would be a real step forward for this team. I think we need to play one of the 2017 Division One teams and get a win over them.

"At the same time there's still a lot to play for this year and we'll be looking to go as far as we can. When you just get one or two championship matches and go out you're not progressing."
