The GAA fraternity in Castleblayney and the wider GAA community in County Monaghan will be saddened at news of the death earlier this week of one of the all time greats, the late Peter McGinn, Drumcrew, Castleblayney.

With his passing another link with the glory days of the past at club and count y level is severed. A lifelong supporter of the Faughs, Peter also represented them as a player for almost two decades, playing in goals, a position he also held down with the county team.

He was a member of the famed Castleblayney five in row team that won the senior championship from 1963 to 1967 and by that time he had also collected Ulster and All Ireland junior football championship medals with Monaghan in 1956. He was inducted into the Monaghan GAA Hall of Fame in 2009.
