Hard working St Josephs Ederney attacker Pol McKervey is our third ‘Up and Coming’ Fermanagh GAA player this week.
The talented forward only last week played for the Ulster Under-16 side as they defeated Dublin Under-17 team with McKervey putting in an excellent performance in Newry.
At only 16 years of age the Ederney youngster is all that you want in a forward – Hard working, can take a score and is extremely skilful.
