A late flurry of scores gave Fermanagh a flattering victory over Waterford to maintain their unbeaten Division 4 league record at Fraher Field, Dungarvan, yesterday. Fermanagh keeper Ronan Gallagher twice denied Mark Ferncombe and Sean Fleming in the first-half as the sides went in 0-6 each at the half-time break. The Ulster side were in front within seconds of the restart when Eoin Donnelly landed a great point but the home side edged two clear by the 50th minute before Fermanagh took over with Seamas Quigley and Paul Ward impressing.
