New Management: The club are delighted to introduce the new management team for 2016 of Stephen Courtney as manager and Pauric Loughran as selector. Both are proud Blackhill men and will no doubt leave no stone unturned throughout the year in order to give the team every chance of success. Go n-eirí an t-ádh libh.

Baby Joy: Congratulations to Melissa Donnelly and Paddy Gaffney on the birth of their baby boy, Conor Patrick. Tattygar’s most glamourous Granny is now, still, Sissy! Health and happiness to you all. Saol fada agus breac-shláinte chugat.

Sympathies: The club extends its deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Kathleen Marray and Bridie Harte. Solas na Bhflaitheas go raibh orthu.

Farney Army: Although the county team went down to Jordonstown University on Sunday last, it was great to see Anthony Courtney line out for Monaghan and put in a solid display. His brother Donal was on the panel but must wait a little longer for his first appearance. Also, the Yearbook is currently on sale in many shops.
