Eoin Donnelly has the chance to make history on Sunday by becoming the first ever Fermanagh man to lift the Anglo-Celt Cup.
However, the Coa midfielder has not allowed himself to dream that far ahead with Donegal standing between them and a first ever Ulster title at Clones on Sunday.
One thing that Donnelly does know though is that he wants to be part of it when Fermanagh do eventually claim that first provincial crown.
“I haven’t thought about lifting it and the nature of how it has been with us having never won one, I don’t know what it would be like to. 
“But I know one thing is that I would like to be part of it when it happens and hopefully it happens on Sunday. Ultimately, as a Fermanagh man and a Fermanagh supporter, you want to see the county win an Ulster title,” said the Fermanagh captain.
Fermanagh’s last appearance in an Ulster final was in 2008 and while it is a massive occasion for the county Eoin says that it is key that they don’t get too caught up in the occasion and instead focus on the game.
“That’s the main thing from our perspective. We haven’t been in an Ulster final for such a long time so the obvious thing is for us to just focus on the game. Donegal is a really big task, they have been there before and although they have new fellas in they have a lot of experience of finals in their side so we really need to be tuned into the game and not thinking about what is going on around us. It is going to be a big focus of the management team and the players who were there beforehand, they will be driving that home, to keep the heads right on the day,” he said.
And he stresses that it is important that they seize the opportunity that is in front of them as they don’t know when they will make another final.
“There are a few fellas that were there in 2008 who are still involved in the squad and they will be able to reiterate to the younger lads that you need to make the most of this opportunity because you don’t know when or if it is going to come round again. 
“I’m sure they didn’t think it would be another ten years before Fermanagh would make another final,” he said.
Donnelly knows that Fermanagh will have to be at their best defensively against a free scoring Donegal side while he also acknowledges that they need to put more scores on the board at the other end of the pitch.
“We need to score more ourselves but obviously we need to make sure that we defend and that we are not conceding a big score. 
“They have players all over the pitch who have been getting on the scoresheet for them and they have been racking up big scores so that is something we are going to have to be ready to deal with,” said Eoin.
All roads then lead to Clones on Sunday for the showpiece final and Donnelly understands the affect occasions like this has on young players in the county.
“Younger players will see the Fermanagh senior team competing in an Ulster final and realising that its achievable for Fermanagh to be competing at the highest level. 
“It is a boost for the county and hopefully we can go on and get that win on Sunday,” he stressed.
