Farnan’s instrumental music group of Ciara Mc Gee, Lorna Mc Guinness, Holly Browne, and Claire & Edel Dunne just missed out on a famous victory at the Connaught Finals of Scór na nÓg which were held in Claremorris recently. The group put in a terrific performance and finished a very close second to the competition winners, Achill, from Co. Mayo. With this year’s All-Ireland Finals being hosted by Sligo in the Knocknarae Arena hopes were high that our club would be part of this great occasion but alas it wasn’t to be. Well done to all concerned. CONGRATULATIONS to former club goalkeeper Arlene (Tempany) Griffin and her husband John on the birth of their daughter. BON Voyage and best wishes to our former Intermediate team trainer James Hynes who is moving to England.
