KNEECAP sends video to young Muff bakers

 On Sunday last The Great Muff Bake-Off took place as part of the annual Muff Féile here in the village. The Bake-Off is in memory of a young local chef who sadly passed away, James Rehill. Every year it draws much attention and none more so than this year. One of the organisers remarked on Sunday that it was one of the 'biggest' Bake-Offs to date.

There was a children's U10's and U 12's and then Adults. One of the children's entries was a creation by Jenny Rose McLaughlin and friend Alex Marner. There's was a 'Kneecap' cake. Micky Doherty and the judges all agreed it tasted as good as it looked and it proudly took 3rd place.

Earlier today KNEECAP saw the video and DJ Provai sent a video message to Jenny Rose. We think he was rather impressed with the cake indeed. Maybe he'll come himself next year and enter the next Bake-Off, or even give us a performance.

       You just never know where The Muff Féile will reach.

Unsung Hero 2025

Last year at the inaugural Muff Féile a new award was introduced. This was titled, 'Unsung Hero'. An award to acknowledge the contribution of an individual to our village and community life. It is an opportunity for someone to get a public thanks for all they do for and in the area. Last night as Muff Féile rounded off another hugely successful weekend, the committee met at the Muff Liquor homeplace and the Féile draw took place. A huge selection of prizes were given out and the overall prizewinner bagged themselves a St. Patrick's weekend stay in New York City 2026. Everyone was delighted when local lady, Audrey Buchanan took this first prize. Congrats Audrey from all in Muff. Immediately following the 'live' draw the Unsung Hero announcement took place. This years award went to Willie Doherty. A true Unsung Hero in the village. Willie has been volunteering in the village for more than 25 years and continues to be at the helm when there is work to be done. He can b...

Dean has called his 'last orders'!

Image
 Early last night Dean Hegarty called his 'last orders' at The Squealing Pig here in Muff. A permanent fixture behind the 'Pig' bar for the past 14 years, he has chosen to put the tap upright and allow new blood to take over the ropes/taps!!!! Working as a barperson is not an easy role and you are everyone's friend as you pour the drink, but just as quickly you become the enemy when the night is done, and the bar is shut. It's a difficult career for anyone, and yet no one can argue that Dean did this role proud, and handled it with dignity and authority. Reliable, and dependable he has been to the locals this past 14 years and there's no doubt his presence will be missed. Behind that bar you are not only the barman, but you are marriage counsellor, therapist, friend, enemy, and so much more. No doubt this wide variety of abilities will serve Dean well as he goes forward.  As Dean departs the bar, we must welcome Eoin aboard, and wish him well as he bonds in ...
