TWO MORE SLEEPS! That's all we have to wait until the madness kicks off on Saturday night in the Canal Court.
Our Family Fortunes Experience wouldn't be possible without the involvement of our fantastic teams. So, for those of you not on Facebook or Instagram.....let's introduce you to our party people!
1. MOTHERTRUCKERS
From school to the marts, from the football pitch to the dance floor - these four lads love nothing more than machinery, pints and jiving, in no particular order! A few hoggets were raffled in the midst of their fundraising, all in a day's work. So don the daler boots and the Scania jackets & keep 'er country for these Mothertruckers, Lorcan O'Malley, Michael Crilly, Nathan Vallely & Niall Conlon! They mean business.
2. THE BLOW-IN WINE CLUB
These lassies formed a very sensible book club back in the day, but the stories were soon ditched for the Sauvignon and the books exchanged for wine glasses. They officially rebranded, adapting to their Newtown surroundings and haven't looked back since. Don't be fooled by their recent Women's Wellness Morning - they'll be the first on the dance floor, with a penchant for Celine Dion. We might see a rendition on the night - welcome Sinead Haughey, Ashline Carragher, Andrea Carragher, Martha Murphy, Helen Carragher & Maria Rock! You'll have to come along to see which 4 take to the stage.
3. THE WAGS
No-one knows or hears about the sacrifices of our footballers quite like their significant others. Enter our WAGS - the ever patient and understanding cheerleaders on the sideline! They arrange their date nights and holidays around training, gym sessions and matches - not to mention the meal plans, drink bans (are they a thing?), physiotherapy appointments, tactic talks, post-match analysis and match day prep.... give Natasha McParland, Ciara Cosgrove, Sophie Harte & Katie O'Hare a medal 😉
4. ARMAGH-GEDDON
For the day that's in it 🏆, these four girls have been tearing up St. Michael's pitch as part of our G4MOs. It has come full circle for Shona O'Brien where she used to babysit our club secretary, Lauren Gibney and now she's using her kick outs to set Lauren up for her scores! We have Aine from Drumaroad, Co. Down whose significant other hails from Belleek - her weekly support group with the G4MOs have helped her become accustomed to her Armagh surroundings. Throw in a pocket rocket called Orla, and we have our Armagh-geddon team 💪
5. DROMINTOWN
More like 2 Kevins and the little ladies! Still staying true to Newtown despite moving to the dark side, our 2024 Player of the Year Kevin Carragher joins forces with Kevin O'Malley to bring the true blues to town. The Garvey sisters, Rita and Edel are sticking to their roots, firmly flying the flag for Dromintee. As they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer! Make sure and get your appointment booked for the girls' glam-tastic afternoon, to get you ready for the big night!
6. NEWTOWN LEGENDS
Between them, these four have an Armagh Intermediate Championship medal each with two adding another to the collection in 2009. From holding firm in defence , another taking a leadership role, and another some would argue being a referee's nightmare, these four have had great days out in the blue & white. The self-proclaimed legends are like a fine wine, getting better with age! Rather than make it easy for you all, can you guess who the four members of this team are? Don't let their handsome looks distract you now!
7. RFPT - Reps, Frys, Pints & Tayto
Move over Westlife, forget the Backstreet Boys - these lads have had more HIITs than both put together! Using RFPT's mantra, Cathal, Emmett O'Malley and Christopher have achieved those cheese grater abs with thousands of reps in their WOD. Mr. Motivator himself keeps the treats for himself to make sure his clients achieve their goals. What a coach! They'll be trying to go AMRAP to take the title on Saturday, but will they be able to answer EMOM? You'll have to see for yourself!
8. LICENCED TO KILL
A lethal combination of four nurses, they've the brains and the equipment and they're not afraid to use them! Caoilfhinn Carleton , Caodhla Murray, Caoimhe and Aislínn Davidson crossed paths in the course of their studies and work, and may be known for their bedside manner, but we dare you to cross them. They'll have you triaged and out the door quicker than you can say 'Code Brown'. We have Caoimhe joining us from the Marble County, but these blades will have you losing your marbles with their antics. Good jab, ladies!
9. NEWTOWN BULLS
Fresh from our '26 roster, we've four of our Senior players. When they're not pumping iron, perfecting the shuttle runs and measuring their protein, these lads keep their eyes on the ball at all times. With their sharp shooting skills, Pearse Woods, Aidan Davidson, Miceal and Shane Harte have kept Newtown's scoreboard ticking over in recent seasons (Shane is still dining out on that hat trick against Clady!) Their inspiration? The great Michael Jordan, famed for saying "I've never lost a game, I just ran out of time"!
Whether shooting hoops or running loops around the opposition, let's hear it for our Newtown Bulls!
10. THE BOGEY MEN
Bogey by name but not by nature - these four fancy themselves as the next Rory McIlroy, minus the ringlets! Course management is their game, they'll take down any team a bit below par on Saturday night. No matter the problem, they can putt it right - when things get rough, the tough get going 💪 otherwise, you'll meet them in the 19th! Let's welcome Mousey Hollywood, Paddy O'Hare, Kevin O'Brien and the token Langer, Darren O'Brien!
11. AVERAGE HOES
There's nothing average about our four G4MOs stars, who are competing against Armagh-geddon to see who'll win bragging rights at training next week! They grace that pitch with the same prowess when they're heading to the bar for a round of shots - direct, taking no prisoners, possession is key. Our two Gibney midfielders combine with Siobhan from Co. Down (just don't remind her about that 28 point loss to Armagh), and Shannen - she's from Tyrone... enough said! The craic will be 90 with these girls - Niamh, Charlotte (that's Miss Gibney to you!), Siobhan and Shannen!
12. SPECIAL FORCES
What do you get when you put two postmen, a lorry driver and a sales manager together? A team that always delivers! Our local posties, Barry and Jimmy have been familiar faces, making sure we receive all the important stuff, rates bills, electricity bills, phone bills.... You better give them a warm welcome, they know where you live! A Poyntzpass stalwart, a former County star (was it Down U16s, Cathal?) and 2 Championship winners from Newtown - an amalgamation you never thought you'd see! The fiercely competitive Special Forces - Barry Convery, Cathal Farrelly, Jimmy McManus and Aidy Carragher. (If Aston Villa win the Europa League, Aidy said the drinks are on him!)
