Boys Under 14: Hard luck to our Development team who exited this year’s Division 5 Cup competition last Friday evening when they were beaten by Carrick by three points, the Senior team won the Under 14 Division 2 Shield Final last Sunday evening when they played Magheracloone in Donaghmoyne. The Faughs started well and led by 5 at half time, the second half saw these young Faughs players empty the Tank as they kept Magheracloone at bay to win on a score line of Faughs 0-12 Magheracloone 1-07. Well done to all the players and Managers.
