Ernemen in rare trip to Croke
Croke Park is already one of Europe's most impressive stadiums
Croke Park will stage NFL semi-final double header

Fermanagh will be treading on strange territory on 20 April and finally bridge a 32-year gap.

With the GAA Games Administration Committee opting to play the NFL semi-finals as a double-bill at Croke Park, the Ernemen will make a rare trip to headquarters.

The last time Fermanagh ventured onto the famous turf was back in 1971 when they faced Wexford in a League play-off.

Now Dom Corrigan's side will be first up to face champions Tyrone (1400BST), while All-Ireland champions Armagh are next on stage to take on Laois.

Fermanagh charged through to the knock-out stages thanks a one-point victory over Mayo last Sunday.

20 April: Allianz NFL semi-finals:

Fermanagh v Tyrone (1400BST)
Armagh v Laois (1540).
