Gaelic4Mothers & Others

 With both our ladies and men's team walking through Muff streets over the past week as champions, we really must not forget the other squad that is, Gaelic4Mothers & Others (G4M&O). This team are only together since last year so deserve all recognition for what they are doing. 

These ladies are just home earlier today after a fun footballing weekend at 'Mother's and Other's International Blitz' in Barcelona. Teams from all over Ireland and Munich came together. Our Naomh Padraig gang were successful in winning 3 of 4 games, and drew the other. A superb result for the girls. We are told they had a 'fabulous weekend of Gaelic'. It was hosted by Barcelona Gaels. And surprise, surprise, the girls managed to sneak in some sight-seeing and some celebrating too. They enjoyed Saturday night in Belushi's. And we won't expose any secrets from then!!! 


Alongside playing skillfully on the pitch the girls were recognised and even so far as won, 'Best Team Spirit Award' of the weekend. With this bunch of ladies that is no surprise. The team spirit will definitely be one of sheer determination amalgamated with fun for sure. Huge well done ladies.


Well done to you all for not only getting this team together, but for dedicating yourselves to it and to getting the team to Barcelona. Team Spirit is clearly to the fore at all times. So yes girls, ye too are champions in our eyes always.

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...
