It has been an up and down season for Tempo to date, a point conceded by their county star Aidan Breen. 
A poor start to the league left the Maguires rooted to the bottom of division one but a replay win over Enniskillen and subsequent victory over Maguiresbridge has seen them qualify for the Intermediate championship final.
That win over the Bridge means that Tempo are back in the senior championship in 2017 but Breen reveals that there are still plenty of goals to achieve in 2016;
“We wanted to get back into the senior championship but now that we are in the final we really want to win that. There is a piece of silverware there to be won and we will be going all out to try and get it,” Breen explained.
The Maguires were senior league and championship winners back in 2012 and Breen stated that the team is very much in transition from those heady days.
“The team is completely different from a few years ago. We have lost players and that is just how things go. We are definitely in transition at the moment but it would be nice to be able to win the Intermediate championship and then take things from there.
“ It is amazing what a few wins can do for confidence and that win over Enniskillen was a real confidence boost for the side.”
Breen was in the States for the drawn encounter with the county town side and his return for the replay was a major factor in their victory and the Fermanagh man says he is glad to be back in the maroon of Tempo;
“I was good to get away and travel and I enjoyed it but it was great to get back and playing with the boys as well. The players have really kept plugging away this year and they deserve huge credit. 
“We have been missing players for various reasons and results were going against us but they never dropped the heads and kept plugging away and things have turned a bit.”
Breen is in the form of his career at the minute and was arguably Fermanagh’s best player in 2016. He can operate anywhere from full back out and has been a consistent scoring threat for Tempo since his return. 
This weekend he and his Tempo team mates will clash with Kinawley who Breen believes are a team who have had a very contrasting season to Tempo;
“They have almost been the complete opposite to us this year. They have been winning games right from the start of the year and they have a very settled team while we have been getting players back as the year has gone on. They have experience and good youth coming through and I think there will be very little between the teams.”
Whatever happens in the Intermediate final Breen and Tempo will face into a relegation play-off for their division one status but the county man is not thinking that far down the line;
“With the way the championship is there was no league games while it has been going on so we haven’t been thinking about it at all. 
“We will worry about the league after the final. For now we are only concentrating on Kinawley and trying to win an Intermediate championship.”
