Fermanagh's footballers have been handed a boost with the news that Barry Owens is set to make a long awaited comeback this weekend.

Owens missed his county's entire National League campaign and Sunday's 2-08 0-10 Ulster SFC victory over Monaghan after undergoing surgery in January to correct a slight heart defect.

However, reports from the county claim that he is set to line out for his club side Teemore this weekend, with a return to inter-county action set to follow.

Fermanagh will play either Donegal or Derry in the Ulster semi-final on Saturday 21 June.
