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.

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...

Happy Birthday Tank & Skinny's

  The first coffee shop in Muff was a pop-up for ‘one day only’ at McColgans Butchers . Myself Gráinne McCool, and Teresa Cregan, had talked often about the need for a coffee shop in the village. Local butcher Thomas suggested we come into his shop one day and he’d show us a coffee shop – and he did. True to his word, on January 29 th 2014, over two years before Edward and Shane had the idea (just saying lads), Thomas brought some fresh scone, butter and jam, and made myself and Teresa coffee, (wee drop of whiskey too) in his butcher shop. He had the chairs for us also. That day, Teresa, myself, Thomas and Connor talked about the need for a coffee shop in the village. We knew back then that it was just what Muff needed. So, we were the first crew to get excited when the news broke that two brothers from the Buncrana area were opening a coffee shop in Muff. Many folk said it would never work. Ah ha, but we knew better. When Tank & Skinny’s opened those doors on Friday 31...
