Pat Cadden: Caught in possession once in the second half, otherwise he sent his kick-outs long. Did the basics well. 7
Kane Connor: Played in the middle third and kept the ball moving. Did a solid defensive job and played the assist for Lee Cullen’s point. 7
Che Cullen: Locked in a physical battle with Ethan Rafferty and limited him to one point from play. Comfortable in possession too. 7
Michael Jones: Won his tussle with Armagh dangerman Andrew Murnin and that had a massive impact on the game. 7
Barry Mulrone: The Fermanagh forwards created space for him to break into and he did so at every opportunity. Worked hard in the middle third. 7
James McMahon: Instinctively covered ground as the spare man in defence. Seemed to be in the right place all the time and gathered a lot of breaking ball. 7
Lee Cullen: Took a point in the second half to go along with a very solid display in the Fermanagh rearguard. 6
Eoin Donnelly: A good mix of power and composure, he was the outstanding midfielder on show and ran the game for the Ernemen by dropping back to recycle possession and bring other players into the game. 8
Ryan Jones: The Derrygonnelly clubman put in a Trojan effort in midfield alongside Donnelly. Landed two first half points. 7
Paul McCusker: Like his brother, he covered acres on Saturday. Won the dirty ball and used it well, tackled and made supporting runs. 6
Declan McCusker: See star man.
Aidan Breen: Another member of the hard-working Fermanagh middle third engineroom. Shot wide in the first half, otherwise used the ball well. 6
Sean Quigley: Hit uprights in both halves and scored a fine point too. He is inclined to shoot from difficult positions. 6
Conall Jones: Played an unselfish role. Started in the full-forward line but finished in the full-back line. 6
Seamus Quigley: First Championship start for the Roslea forward. One point from four shots in the first half, but he improved as the game wore on and finished with six, including one from play. 7
Substitutions:
Ciaran Corrigan: First taste of Championship action for Corrigan. Played the assist for a Seamus Quigley point. 6
Daniel Teague: Slotted into the half-forward line after he replaced Paul McCusker. 6
Eamonn Maguire: Replaced Breen after 66 minutes and helped see Fermanagh home. 6
Cain McManus: Not on long enough to be rated.
Tom Clarke: Not on long enough to be rated.
Star man
Declan McCusker (Fermanagh)
On an evening when composure and hard work were key, he put in a terrific shift. Passed accurately, tackled tigerishly and constantly supported his team-mates. When Armagh had the ball he harried them, when Fermanagh had it he helped to build attacks. Used his pace to land a point in the first half to cap an excellent performance. 8
