FERMANAGH footballer Ultan Kelm is set to head Down Under tomorrow to participate in trials with AFL club Fremantle Dockers. Kelm came close to joining the Western Australia club in 2021 as a Catergory B rookie but a recurring hip injury ended the Belleek speedster’s dream only two months after news broke that he had been […]
THIS Saturday sees the return of the adult club season in Fermanagh with eight games being contested in round one of the Club Players’ Competition.

By Michael McMullan FORMER Donegal All-Ireland winner and manager Declan Bonner has been appointed as the new manager of Fermanagh side Erne Gaels. Bonner was the front runner for the post with Donegal player Paul Brennan as part of his management ticket. The Gaels were in search of a manager after Seamus Ryder stepped down […]
By Katrina Brennan THE last time Erne Gaels and Derrygonnelly went head to head in a Senior Championship Final was back in 2016. Ryan Lyons was the captain that day and on Sunday (Brewster Park, 2pm), he will again lead the Erne Gaels team out at Brewster Park but this time he’ll be hoping for […]
By John Carney THEY may not have been the ‘Gaels’ they thought they’d face in the championship final, but Shane McGullion and his Derrygonnelly side will not be underestimating Belleek in Sunday’s senior decider. When Erne Gaels beat Enniskillen Gaels 1-10 to 0-9 last Sunday in Kinawley to reach the county final and put out the holders, it came […]
DERRYLIN scraped a ‘vital’ one-point win over Erne Gaels in Belleek on Friday evening to take a potentially significant step towards Division One safety. On paper it was a surprising win as Erne Gaels reached last year’s Senior Championship final, but Derrylin have been going reasonably well themselves and claimed their third victory from their […]

Collins was joint-manager of the Fermanagh u-17 team alongside Raymond Johnston last season. A teacher and manager at St Kevin’s Lisnaskea, he will now […]
By Katrina Brennan ON Monday afternoon, Enniskillen Gaels manager Simon Bradley said it’s a case of resetting now as they prepare for the rescheduled senior championship final this Sunday. After the heavy downpours on Sunday morning, Brewster Park was deemed unplayable, despite the best efforts of club volunteers. Bradley, having been around the ground a lifetime, said the […]
By Niall Gartland ENNISKLLEN Gaels endured a chastening experience in last year’s county final, but they assessed the situation, made the necessary changes, and will see Sunday’s decider Erne Gaels as a real opportunity to win their first senior championship title since 2016. They were ground down by a hardened Derrygonnelly Harps team, but their […]
By Niall Gartland ERNE Gaels have undergone a swift resurgence under their manager Seamus Ryder, and they’ll be quietly confident of completing a league and championship double when they face Enniskillen Gaels this weekend. It’s been a rapid rise for the Belleek team – they won last year’s Intermediate title, won this year’s Division One […]
