The 25th anniversary of the landmark 1994 Clare senior football championship success enjoyed by the Faughs will be marked by a series of celebratory events in Ennis this coming weekend.

The amalgamation side made up of players from the Éire Óg and St Joseph’s Doora-Barefield clubs and captained by Seanie Lyne won what was the 100th Clare senior football decider in September 1994 when beating Kilrush Shamrocks by 1-12 to 2-6 after a replay.

The squad and management will be honoured by the Clare County Board in Cusack Park on Sunday, 20 October, as part of the Clare senior football final day programme headlined by the clash of Kilmurry Ibrickane and St Joseph’s Miltown.

The Faughs were managed by Éire Óg’s Tony Honan, while former Clare manager and current member of the Kerry senior management Donie Buckley was trainer/coach, with former Kilrush championship winner Mattie Fennell, another Éire Óg stalwart Pat Fitzpatrick and Tipperary-native Martin Coffey from St Joseph's Doora-Barefield were also part of the backroom team.

The weekend of celebration kicks off in Mickey Kerins’ in Lifford on the Friday night — the pub being synonymous with the rebirth of the Faughs football team in the early 1990s — before moving onto Cruises Bar at the end of the night.

On Saturday, a night of celebration will be hosted in the Éire Óg clubhouse, at which a series of presentations will be made to players and management ahead of a special screening of the match video.

Members of the Kilrush Shamrocks team, management and club officials are also being invited to the function that will have a 7.30pm start and will also take in a visit to Michael ‘Ganga’ Griffin’s on Parnell Street, which was another very popular haunt of the players during that championship-winning year.

On Sunday the team will be meeting at Cruises Bar at 12 noon before going to Cusack Park for the Senior B final between Éire Óg and Kilmihil, while the presentation of silver jubilee awards will take place at half-time in the senior A final.
