One thing is certain in this year's Senior Championship: the 'Gaels' will be champions.

Whether it is Enniskillen Gaels or Erne Gaels, we will hopefully have an answer by Sunday evening.

Apart from Derrygonnelly, these two teams have been knocking on the door of Championship football and are most likely to dethrone the Harps from their dominant perch in Fermanagh football.

This year, it was the Belleek outfit’s turn to do just that, giving themselves a huge psychological boost as they seek their first Senior Championship title in over 40 years.

When Declan Bonner was announced as manager of Erne Gaels, with Paul Brennan joining him, the club's intentions became clear.

This is the club's third consecutive final, and they will be hoping it is third time lucky as they try to end that 43-year drought.

The semi-final win over Derrygonnelly will give them significant confidence.

The Harps have been Erne Gaels' Achilles' heel, seemingly holding a psychological grip over them.

Erne Gaels could never quite put them to the sword.

They had a great chance in the final group game, leading by two points in the dying moments, but they conceded a late goal.

With Ederney knocking out Kinawley in the quarter-final, a last-four clash between these two rivals was set.

This was a serious test of Erne Gaels' mettle, and they emerged victorious, thanks in large part to their former manager, Seamus Ryder.

Ryder has come off the bench in both the quarter-final and semi-final to kick decisive scores. No doubt, he will be called upon to do the same if the game is in the balance on Sunday.

Belleek is full of talent, from the backline featuring Ultan O’Reilly and Jack McCann to the likes of Ryan Lyons, Brian Mullin, Ultan Kelm, Oisín Kelm, Dan McCann, Tommy McCaffrey, and Shane Rooney. Aogán Kelm, despite his limited appearances due to injury, adds formidable scoring power.

They are complemented by the hardworking Martin Gilfedder and their leader, Brian Mullin.

But all these players have been here before. They have previously been tipped to win the New York Cup but have fallen short on the big stage.

Whatever the reason for those past shortcomings, you can be sure that Bonner, an Ulster-winning manager with Donegal, will be using all his experience to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

The Harps win, as well as last year’s semi-final win over Enniskillen, will steel them for Sunday’s game.

If it comes down purely to football, they have as much talent as any team in the county.

The same can be said for their opponents.

Enniskillen is likely the favourite, and rightly so.

They have been the best team in the county this year, winning the Division One league and all their games in the championship so far.

Most of their players were involved in 2022 when they brushed aside Erne Gaels 3-12 to 0-11.

They have an exciting team under the watchful eyes of Simon Bradley and Aidan McCarron.

In Johnny Cassidy, they have the best player in the championship so far.

Mostly known for his defensive capabilities, it’s his forward play that has caught the eye. Just look at his 1-01 in the first half against Ederney.

When these sides meet, he usually marks Ultan Kelm. Will they face off again, with Enniskillen hoping Cassidy pins Kelm back in Erne Gaels’ defence?

Besides Cassidy, Enniskillen, like their opponents, is filled with talent.

Their goal-scoring ability might just be the deciding factor.

Enniskillen's scoring has been far more prolific than that of Erne Gaels.

Conor Love, Conor McShea, Callum Jones, and John Reihill are the core of the attack and are well capable of taking apart most defences.

But Enniskillen doesn’t rely solely on their forwards; their whole team is unafraid to push forward, as shown by Jack Tierney, Conor Murphy, and goalkeeper Ross Bogue.

With Richie O’Callaghan, Josh Horan, Conall Quinn, and Ciaran Smith minding the house, Enniskillen exudes confidence in their game plan.

Bogue will surge forward if he sees the opportunity and can sometimes be the furthest player up the field.

This full-on attack will come up against a compact and tough Belleek defence.

Erne Gaels will look to last year's semi-final when they defeated a fancied Enniskillen side and use it as a platform to try and get over the line in the final.

Simon Bradley has said that loss has been used as motivation for his squad so it will be interesting to see what they have learned from it as well as previous meeting this year to rectify that loss.

If Belleek can stifle this attack and get up the pitch to keep the scoreboard ticking over, they have a great chance.

But they must stop Enniskillen from scoring goals. Even when Enniskillen have not been at their best, they have found the net, repeatedly.

If they score a goal early on Sunday, the New York Cup won’t have far to travel to celebrate.

However, if Erne Gaels get ahead and build momentum and Ryder makes another cameo performance, there could be celebratory bonfires on the Border once again.
