O'Rourke to remain in Fermanagh hot seat

Malachy O'Rourke has agreed to continue as Fermanagh senior football manager, after being reappointed at Monday night's Co Board meeting.

Malachy O'Rourke has agreed to continue as Fermanagh senior football manager, after being reappointed at Monday night's Co Board meeting.

O'Rourke succeeded Charlie Mulgrew on a three-year term in October 2007 and steered Fermanagh to their first Ulster final for 26 years in his first season in charge.

The Derrylin man is eager to get the Ernesiders back firing on all cylinders after a largely disappointing 2009 campaign.

Their Championship hopes were ended by a first round exit to Down in Ulster and a defeat to Wicklow in the All-Ireland qualifiers.

O'Rourke's charges were also relegated from National League Division 2, after winning only one of their seven games.

Meanwhile, the Fermanagh Co Board have also ratified U-21 football manager Darren Chapman and senior hurling manager Rory O'Donnell for 2010.
