Eight Omagh St. Enda's players are just 60 minutes away from completing a clean sweep of Ulster club minor, U21 and senior football medals.

Ronan O'Neill, Conan Grugan, Barry Tierney, Ciaran McLaughlin, Cormac O'Neill, Stephen Mullan, Ryan Clarke and Conor Clarke (who is currently injured) will become the first players to win provincial club medals in the three grades if Omagh should defeat Slaughtneil in Sunday's Ulster club SFC final at the Athletic Grounds.

St. Enda's won the Ulster club MFC and U21FC titles in 2009 and 2011 respectively.

"It wouldn't be a bad title to have, to be one of that select few," goalkeeper Ryan Clarke told the Irish News.

"I was fortunate enough myself to be part of the team that went on to win the Ulster minor and Ulster U21 championships. And it's fantastic to bring that level of experience through from Ulster competitions, because you had men like Joey and Justy (McMahon) who were winning titles with Tyrone and hadn't won much with the club, if anything."
