Erne Gaels Belleek attacker Ultan Kelm says the Fermanagh champions are keen to give a better account of themselves when they embark on the Ulster club SFC next month.

The Gaels made it back-to-back SFC titles in the Erne County last Saturday evening by defeating Derrygonnelly Harps at the second attempt on 1-12 to 1-9 scoreline at Brewster Park.

Kelm’s 1-3 contribution was crucial for the holders as they now look towards an away provincial quarter-final date against Cavan champions Kingscourt Stars the weekend after next.

“When we looked at the draw, we knew we could be facing the Cavan champions. It was a game we felt we could really improve on from the performance against Scotstown last year,” the Fermanagh told BelfastLive.co.uk.

“We weren't happy with that in any way. Scotstown are a seasoned team in the Ulster club championship and are full of established county performers.

“That that was probably a wake-up call for some of the boys that maybe haven't played at that level. Ulster club football is probably closer to inter-county level.

“The top teams come out of each of the provinces and counties.

“From our point of view, getting across the line (in Fermanagh) was the first part. Now, we have to give a better account of ourselves than we did last year and target that win in Ulster.”
