DRIVING FORCE Ultan Kelm celebrates leading Erne Gaels to Fermangh final replay glory last month with teammate Michael Og McGarrigle

No Fermanagh club has ever won the competition but Belleek outfit Gaels are now just two steps from heaven.

They beat Kingscourt Stars after extra-time last weekend to set up a glamour semifinal against Kilcoo on Saturday week.

It remains to be seen whether Fermanagh star Kelm will feature in Armagh after coming off last weekend with apparent cramp.

He missed most of the year with a hip injury and Gaels boss Declan Bonner included him in a list of players he's concerned about ahead of the Kilcoo match.

But Kelm will feature if at all possible having already parked planned rehab work to help Erne Gaels regain the Fermanagh title.

He made it back for the drawn county final and replay, scoring 1-5 across those two games, before hitting Kingscourt for 1-1.
