The Gathering Dinner Dance – The Faughs Gathering Ball will happen on Saturday August 24^th at 8pm the Glencarn Hotel. The Gala Ball promises to be one of the highlights of what is going to be a great weekend in Castleblayney.

A fine meal will be followed by music and other entertainment into the night and will be the perfect opportunity for everyone to mix and mingle all for a fantastic price of €50 per ticket. Ticket will be available to buy or pay a deposit to secure a table this Friday evening  at St. Mary’s Park Meeting room from 6.30pm to 8pm or contact Melissa Conlon at 087 7617216.  Can we ask people to purchase their tickets early as demand is already high for the evening.

Muckno Mania – There was great entertainment and craic in Blayney last weekend with the annual Muckno Mania festival. Well done to the organising committee for another packed programme of events over the 4 days. As always, the Faughs were well represented over the weekend, Thursday evening was “Come Cook with us” in the Glencarn Hotel, there was great attendance and colour in Friday night’s parade which saw maybe 100 kids wearing their green and gold jerseys. The annual sports day and Teddy Bear’s Picnic which was hosted by the club on Saturday also saw a huge attendance with everyone, young and old, enjoying the fine sunshine and fun and finally we had a stand at the family fun day on Sunday in Lough Muckno which gave locals the opportunity to stop by and get more information on future events like the Gathering and Summer camp next month and of course the now famous Operation TransFAUGHmation due to start in September.

Under 12 Boys – The under 12 boys played Carrick in the final game of Division 1A on Tuesday last and won a fiercely contested match by the narrowest of margins which means they finish top of the under 12 league and qualify for the final where they await the winners of the semi-final. Meanwhile the development team had a great win over Doohamlet on Wednesday evening and followed that with a tight victory over Corduff on Saturday. This leaves the boys joint top of the league awaiting the semi-final pairings in the coming weeks. Well done to both sets of players for the spirit and attitude shown over the past week.
