So Fermanagh set up an Ulster semi-final against Monaghan as they see off Antrim at Brewster Park but it's not a game that will live long in the memory.
We'll hope for a lot more excitement next Sunday when Derry face Down at Celtic Park, with a 14:00 BST throw-in.
The match will be shown live on BBC2 Northern Ireland and there will be commentary on Radio Ulster medium wave with our live text coverage on the website.
See you next week.
Peter McGrath's reaction
"The extra man did affect the game," said the Fermanagh manager, who also spoke of his team's upcoming challenge against Monaghan in the Ulster semi-final on 21 June.
"James McMahon, our extra man, is a very intelligent footballer and we were able to find our men a bit better in the middle third of the field in the second half.
"People are too quick to put a ceiling on what Fermanagh can achieve. We'll go out and play against any team thinking that on any given day, we can get over the line."
Full-time
Fermanagh 1-13 0-08 Antrim
The final score is perhaps a little flattering for Fermanagh but they have deserved their win. They will have to pick up their game considerably for the semi-final against Monaghan but it's job done for the Ernemen.

"It will be interesting to see how Fermanagh play out the final minutes. They can kill the game or go out and get the scores to put Antrim away."

Fermanagh 0-09 0-07 Antrim.

Half-time: Fermanagh 0-06 0-04 Antrim
Fermanagh lead by two at half-time. After the combative exchanges in Ballybofey and the relative excitement of Breffni Park last weekend, it's all been a bit flat so far here. Even McVeigh's red card was greeted by relative silence. But the game is surely Fermanagh's to lose with them two ahead and a man up.

"He deserved the red. He certainly went to make an impact and can't have too many excuses."
Red card
Antrim's Sean McVeigh is sent off after catching Ciaran Flaherty with an elbow. Flaherty's fancy footwork may have outfoxed McVeigh but replays suggest that the former London player can have few complaints about Maurice Deegan's decision.
Big blow for Fermanagh
Influential Fermanagh defender Ryan McCluskey has been struggling since tangling with Pollock 10 minutes ago and is forced off by his leg injury.

Fermanagh 0-04 0-03 Antrim
CJ slots Antrim's first score in 15 minutes after Paddy McBride earns a free.
Here's CJ
No sooner than we had mentioned him and CJ McGourty is introduced for Pollock. Not really sure why he wasn't on from the start.
Post update
CJ McGourty's free-taking talents being missed by Antrim as his St Gall's club-mate Michael Pollock is unable to hit the target from 35 metres.
Substitution

Fermanagh 0-03 0-02 Antrim
Kieran McGourty levels for Antrim but Ciaran Flaherty quickly restores Antrim's lead in the 14th minute.

Antrim change
Well fancy that. There is a late change to the Antrim team with Kieran McGourty replacing his brother CJ in the Saffron attack. That looks like a major blow to the Saffrons's scoring potential. No Fermanagh changes....so far at least.
Interview

"If it doesn't send a tingle down your spine, there's something wrong," says Peter McGrath to BBC Radio Ulster's Austin O'Callaghan ahead of the throw-in.
Line-ups
Every team announced before a Championship game comes with a health warning, but if Fermanagh's selection is to be believed, they will be without skipper Eoin Donnelly because of a thumb injury.
Chris Snow starts in goal in place of Thomas Treacy with James McMahon preferred to Tiarnan Daly in defence.
Antrim boss Frank Fitzsimons hands a championship debut to St Gall's defender Conor Burke while key forward CJ McGourty is passed fit to start in the attack after being bothered by a hip problem.
Don't be surprised if I am back to you shortly with a team tweak or two.
Fermanagh: C Snow, M Jones, N Cassidy, M O'Brien, D McCusker, R McCluskey, J McMahon, R Jones, R O'Callaghan, B Mulrone, C Flaherty, P McCusker, T Corrigan, S Quigley, R Corrigan.
Antrim: C Kerr; R Johnston, S McVeigh, C Burke; J Crozier, T Scullion, N Delargy; C Murray, M Sweeney; J Laverty, O Gallagher, P McBride; CJ McGourty, M Pollock, R Murray.

Welcome to our live coverage of the second quarter-final in the Ulster Football Championship between Fermanagh and Antrim at Brewster Park.
The counties met at the corresponding stage in Enniskillen 12 months ago when the Saffrons edged a surprise but deserved 2-18 to 3-13 victory.
But Fermanagh, again managed by former Down All-Ireland winning boss Peter McGrath, are even stronger favourites today after securing promotion to Division 2 of the Football League as the Saffrons failed to get out of Division 4.
Fermanagh are the only Ulster county who have never won the Anglo-Celt Cup while the last of Antrim's nine triumphs came back in 1951.
Sunday's winners will face Monaghan in the opening Ulster semi-final on 21 June.
