Senior Team: The Senior team exited the Greenfield Foods Senior Football Championship when they went down to Scotstown last Saturday evening in Clontibret. The Faughs settled slowly which allowed Scotstown take the early initiative as they went five up in the first fifteen minutes, an advantage that they would hold right throughout the game; half time Faughs 0-2 Scotstown 0-7. The second half saw the lads register the first three scores to close the gap and despite a Brendan McElroy goal we just were unable to close that gap. Final Score Faugh 1-8 Scotstown 1-14. Well done to all the Players and Management, this is a young Blayney team who are heading in the right direction let's hope over the next couple of years that they continue to improve and stay together so that the Mick Duffy Cup returns back to Castleblayney. This Sunday we are back in league action with an away game to Truagh, throw in time is 12pm.
