U15 GIRLS DIV 2 FINAL

Our U15 girls faced local rivals Lurgan in the U15 Div 2 girls final on the 3G pitch on Saturday. There were some nerves before throw in which showed at the start of the game. Lurgan started strongly and were 1-02 to no score up after 10 mins. But the girls grew into the game with three well taken frees and a excellent goal from Aishling Doughty the have the teams level at half time 1-05 apiece. With the advantage of the wind in the second half we opened up a 4 point cushion after 10 mins which was maintained with some fantastic defending by our backs. A late goal from Aoife Tynan helped the secure the win with a final score of 2-11 : 1-07. A hard fought win but a well deserved win. Congratulations to our new County Champions.  As the season ends Michael & Tom would like to thank everyone for their support and dedication during the year.

Mullagh Tidy Towns Appeal.

A number of people have been enquiring as to how Mullagh did in the 2017 National Tidy Towns Competition. Unfortunately, the committee very reluctantly decided not to enter the 2017 competition due to a very poor turnout for the AGM in April and a general lack of interest.  However, over the summer months a few volunteers along with our Fás workers did manage to plant and maintain some flowers and keep the litter under control.

In August our Fás worker, Hughie finished up; therefore we are again appealing to our community for your support. We ask all businesses, residents, land owners and landlords to keep the area around their property litter free and tidy. We especially appeal to the food outlets to do their bit. If everyone looked after a hundred meters either side of their property, we could have a litter free village. In the village, we ask the residents and businesses to sweep the footpath in front of their properties weekly.

By maintaining civic pride in our community we will reduce the incidents of anti-social behaviour; therefore it’s in all our interest to do a little. Mullagh Tidy Towns can provide some litter picking equipment. Please contact Tommy on 087-7696332 for further information.
