It is with great pride that I rise today to congratulate my home GAA club, Erne Gaels, Belleek, on its historic victory over Enniskillen Gaels in the Fermanagh senior championship at the weekend. This is the first time that the New York Cup has been in Belleek since 1981. We do not just celebrate a trophy; we celebrate the heart, grit and relentless spirit of our players. Every training session, every sacrifice and every ounce of energy that was poured into this season was for this moment, and they have made us all so proud. I thank and congratulate the coaches, the back-room staff, the volunteers and, of course, the loyal fans. It shows what is possible when we stand together as a community. You have made history, and you have given us all a moment that we will never forget. However, I have many friends in Enniskillen and therefore commiserate with the Enniskillen Gaels and congratulate them on giving us one of the most exciting senior county finals that Fermanagh has ever seen. Comhghairdeas libh, a Ghaeil na hÉirne.
Onwards to the Ulsters.
