On Sunday, the experienced campaigner will walk out as captain in the All-Ireland Intermediate Championship Final, leading a team she believes is capable of creating history. “It’s been a long time since Fermanagh were in an All-Ireland final, so everybody is looking forward to it.” As captain, McQuade has naturally become one of the team’s leaders, but she insists responsibility is shared throughout the dressing room. She hopes the county’s run to the All-Ireland final will inspire the next generation of Fermanagh footballers to dream of wearing the green jersey. Standing between Fermanagh and All-Ireland glory is a familiar opponent in Roscommon, with the sides having met earlier in the season.
