Ógra Shinn Féin take part in Community ‘It’s a Knock Out’

The Ógra Shinn Féin Hawks failed to shine in the recent community ‘It’s a Knock Out’, coming a respectable 4th (there was only 6 teams).

The event took place in the Falls Park and which included teams from various sporting and community groups, proved a tough test of the republican youth group.

A source from Ógra, said that they had acted in good faith, ‘allowing’ other teams to beat them, so as not to cause embarrassment to some of their much older counterparts.

Ógra raised over £500 for the event which will go towards community investment.


In the first event, ‘life size fuzz ball’, the die hard GAA Ógra’s couldn’t grasp the foreign sport and where trampled by a huge margin.

Many on the sidelines blamed the in-ept John ‘Benny Hat’ McDermott for his arrogant style of play which exposed the backlines and Fra ‘Spider Shinner’ Cochrane for his lack of height which ensured many shots being fired over his tiny frame.

In the next event, the ‘destruction ball’, the Ógra Hawks regained some lost ground, with the heroic exploits of Neilly ‘Bambi legs’ McDonnell. Despite Stevie ‘Sore Back’ McGahan being absolutely useless, the clarity of instructions called out by the gallant leader Neilly, moved the Hawks up in the ranks.

In the Sumo event, there was some fine victories by Lee McMahon, Caolan Loughran, and Barry McColgan, and a tense battle ensued between Neilly and some aul doll.
The pressure was evident on McDonnell’s face, with the aul doll proving the eventual victor. The team was also let down, in a shock defeat of Eugene ‘E Honda’ Garvey.

In the Assault Course in the end, despite a slow start from the Hawks, they regained their composure to tramp home to victory (although only in that event.)

The huge defeat in the fuzz ball ensured that they still ended up 4th.
Ógra Shinn Féin would like to distant themselves from the useless members of the team that day, most notably, ‘Benny Hat’, ‘Spider Shinner’ and ‘Sore Back’.

I heard that Stevie 'sore back' McGahan done absolutely brilliant on the sumo wrestling, infact rumour has it that he got 'bout of the day' on that particular contest:D

I heard that spider shinners balance was impeccable when it came to the wrecking ball part of the games, in fact I heard his spider senses where that good that he done it blind folded.
