Stephen Mullan feels Omagh St. Enda's talented crop of youngsters are starting to deliver on their promise.

The defender has enjoyed provincial success at minor and U21 level with the Tyrone champions and now has his sights set on senior glory after the recent sensational Ulster quarter-final victory over Crossmaglen.

"There are eight or nine boys from those teams that started that game, and three or four more that featured off the bench. We're starting to fulfill our potential. People always said we had talent but didn't have the heart, so hopefully we've proved that" Mullan said in the Tyrone Times.

Looking ahead to Sunday's provincial semi-final against Donegal kingpins St. Eunan's at Celtic Park, Mullan added: "We played St Eunans in a friendly a while back. They are like the Donegal county team, quite defensive. We know what they're like, strong and physical. It's going to be very tough, but we are up for the challenge."
