Fermanagh midfielder Richard O'Callaghan says an Ulster SFC would mean everything to the Ernemen.

Pete McGrath's charges have already secured promotion to Division Two but Enniskillen Gaels clubman O'Callaghan concedes that the season starts in anger when they entertain Antrim in the championship on Sunday week:

"Championship is still king," he notes in The Fermanagh Herald. "Whether it's club or county or U12 or senior, it's championship that's the king.

"It's a bonus to get a good league run and it gives you something to build on but if we don't beat Antrim there's going to be serious questions asked of us, among ourselves and from the outside. That's something we don't want.

"Championship is everything, especially for the people of Fermanagh. We crave that Ulster championship so badly, having never won one."
