Replying To Itown1234:  "In other news, I've heard that Ultan Kelm is linked to a move back to Australia. This will be a massive blow for the upcoming season. You can't blame the lad for taking such an opportunity. The sun alone would be enough to get most of us out there.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he have trials a few years ago that fell through?"
Yes he had trial with Fremantle in 2021 but hip injury stopped it plus covid didn't help.

Definitely begrudge him the opportunity to become a professional athletes, had been expected would revisit this avenue, be a big loss for sure to the county team.

What kind of statement is that in which you begrudge Ultan Kelm the opportunity to become a professional player down under? The cheek of you, after all he has done for our county team! No wonder others refer to you as a pot stirrer.

It's an opportunity no one would turn down. Do we know if any other Fermanagh players are heading for trials?

I would have assumed Darragh McGurn would be a good fit for the Aussie game (tall, strong, and fast), but perhaps his ongoing injuries have prevented it from happening.

I heard rumours last night that Donnelly is no longer interested in remaining as Fermanagh senior team manager. I guess he has had enough and the exit of key players is the final straw.
