A successful weekend of Football in Muff village

If you weren't at the Football tournament this past weekend over at the QPS grounds, were you even in Muff? A hugely successful children's football tournament took place throughout Saturday and Sunday as part of this years forthcoming Muff Feilé 2026. The football was a fundraiser for the Feilé but more importantly a weekend of memory making, family time, competition fun and experience for everyone who turned up.

The weekend has been in the planning for some time and Gareth McGuinness was at the helm. Gareth organised the weekend and put the word out to all the teams who participated. Over 60 teams from across N'Ireland and Donegal came to the village. Approximately 600 children played football this weekend on our QPS grounds. And hundreds came to watch and enjoy the festivities on those pitches.

The Muff Feilé committee members and volunteers also worked tirelessly over the two days with ground management, cleaning and general help over the days. People were able to avail of hot food and snacks with The Cabin crew and refreshments in the form of ice-cream were served from Honey Bear Ice-Cream. And of course the village shops were just a short walk away.

Although the rain didn't take time to stop for long on Saturday it didn't allow for any disruption and all games went ahead, and people continued to watch. Sunday saw the weather behave much better and it really was a delightful day out.

Huge congratulations to everyone who took part and to everyone who helped out. It was a very enjoyable tournament for everyone involved.

Festival draw raffle tickets are still available to buy for just €10 and you could be cruising the Med next April. Yes, for just €10. Get in touch with Craic On here on Facebook if you want any tickets.

Mura gets ready for retirement!

In just over one weeks’ time, our village will have another retiree. A retiree who has given so much to Muff. He moved to Muff from neighbouring Fahan in 1989. Although working in the village prior to this, Mura McLaughlin has long since established himself as a permanent fixture, community member and one of the hardest working members of Muff village. Mura was a Customs Man from 1981 through to 1992. He then proceeded on a career with Irish Life. In the early 90’s Mura began volunteering in the village and was always there to lend a hand at the preparation and delivery of festivals and more. And of course you could find him on the dramatic stage too. In 2007 Mura began working with what is now Muff Community Development. And in 2011 he became manager there. Mura has a team of committee members behind him and a team of workers alongside him, but he himself has been instrumental in much of the development that has taken place in our community in the past 25 years. The fabulo...

Point Coffee opens this coming Tuesday in QP

Earlier today the new coffee shop in Quigley’s Point welcomed some family and friends for a taster and viewing of the new premises. It was a delight to be part of that taster and welcome. Although very much settled in Muff, I am and will always be a Quigley's Point gal at heart, so this coffee shop is a special one for myself here at Craic On Muff. Point Coffee is due to open its doors to the public on Tuesday 21 st July at 7am. It will allow the village of Quigley’s Point and those passing by to fuel up on coffee at dawn, and be fully awake come the morning rush hour of work, family, and day-to-day life. Being the first coffee shop in Quigley’s Point there is undoubtedly much excitement about this opening. Local business, neighbours and friends all popped in today for a nosey. And no one was disappointed. You will find a lovely seating area within. As all is new it’s got that lovely newness feel to it, and yet the smell of coffee makes it feel homely. You will find...

Christmas Dance at Muff Community Hall with Shunie Crampsey

There really is something magical watching people dancing. From contemporary songs to the very traditional 'Shoe the Donkey', it was all things dancing this Sunday night. The people of Muff and far beyond showcased true magic on the dancefloor tonight at St. Mary's Hall here in the village. Shunie Crampsey has been providing the music and song here in the community hall monthly for the past 18+ months. Tonight was the Christmas dance and it showcased the importance of music and dance for the soul. People coming together to sit and listen, to get up and dance, to just talk. And a fabulous supper was enjoyed by all, catered by The Cabin. Events like this show what community is all about. And the community within the village hall tonight felt very strong and very festive. People came from all over Inishowen and Derry to enjoy the dance. And no doubt will return in the future to do likewise. Huge thanks must go to all the members of Muff hall who work hard behind the scene...
