Conall Jones' injury-time free earned Fermanagh a 0-8 to 1-5 draw with Cork at Enniskillen.

The hosts didn't score from play in the first half and trailed by 0-4 to 0-1 at the break, Jones' early free replied to by Luke Connolly, Damian Gore, Eoghan McSweeney and James Loughrey.

Rory Gallagher's men bossed the third quarter and were rewarded with points from Aidan Breen, Declan McCusker, Ciaran Corrigan, Danny Teague and Sean Quigley, while Cork had Ruairi Deane sent off in the 45th minute.

Jones' free made it 0-7 to 0-5. Matthew Taylor's goal on the hour seemed to have won it for the Rebels but Jones executed a mark in the fourth added minute and his kick was moved forward after the ball was slapped from his hands. He made no mistake.
