Leitrim were disappointed to lose out to Louth in the recent Lidl NFL Division 4 decider but it was an encouraging campaign from the Connacht outfit, nonetheless.
In contrast, Fermanagh are smarting after suffering relegation back to the bottom tier, having lost out in a relegation play-off against Wicklow. But Fermanagh, who were crowned Junior Champions in 2020, will relish the step up to the Intermediate ranks.
They lost out by just three points against Down in the recent Ulster Final.
Leitrim: M Monaghan, R Rooney, S Tighe, S McCartan; C Tyrell, C Owens (c), C LeGuen; Á Heslin, V Egan; L O’Dowd, M Guckian, S Ward, L Fox, A Clancy, R McHugh.
Fermanagh: S Murphy; E Murphy, M McGloin, E Keenan; S McQuade, C Murphy (c), S McCarville; R O’Reilly, A Flanagan; S Britton, J Doonan, A Maguire; N McManus, E Smyth, A O’Brien.
