Goals from Oisin Doherty and Ruairi McCann in stoppage time, saw Antrim book their spot in the Tailteann Cup Quarter Finals, as they left it late to put the tie with Fermanagh to bed.

It was a close fought game and despite Fermamagh starting the second half two points down, kicking 1-4 to lead five minutes later, Antrim fought hard to get the result and the goals late in stoppage time proved the two deciding scores.

Fermanagh have to settle for second spot, lucky to not lose that to Wexford, score difference between them as they both played out a draw earlier in the group.

After both sides exchanged early points, Fermanagh started to put their stamp on proceedings, Sean Quigley pointed either side of Tommy McCaffery for a three point lead at the end of the opening quarter.

Back came the Saffrons and they soon were level, Dominic McEnhill with two frees sandwiched between an Adam Longeran point to level just after the half hour mark.

Ruairi McCann put Antrim ahead with the first of two points as they looked to be taking a two point lead to the break, McCann pointing his second in stoppage time, Quigley cancelled it out, but after seven minutes of stoppage time, Peter Healy got up from defence to point and Antrim made it 0-7 to 0-5 at the break.

Whatever was said in the Fermanagh dressing room at half time, renegerised the side at they came out for the second half, Ultan Kelm and Ryan Jones pointed inside two minutes to level the tie, before Jones buried to the net to put Fermanagh head 1-7 to 0-7 seconds later.

Kelm made it a four point game in a pulsating opening five minutes of action, but more was to come as Antrim got a foot into the game, McEnhill got them on the board with a free, before Patrick McCormick made it a two point game.

Seconds later Adam Longeran had the ball in the Fermanagh goal and the Saffrons were in front once again, but Ronan McCaffrey was able to kick over the blackspot as they replied almost immediately to level.

Michael Byrne pointed a 45 to put Antrim ahead but Garvan Jones swiftly responded for Fermanagh, Adam Longeran and Ruairi McCann made it 1-12 to 1-10 in favour of Antrim with quick scores, before Quigley nailed another free to make it a point between them.

Into stoppage time the sides would again swap points, Antrim holding out on the scoreboard 1-13 to 1-12, but goals from Oisin Doherty and McCann wrapped up the tie to see them win by seven.
