<\/figure>\n\n\n\n1st Crimlin Batafada Band<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2nd St Joseph’s Longstone<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n There was only one competitor in this section but the Maghery band would have beaten any band put in front of them. Their drill is just amazing and their music is just as good. They are such a credit to themselves and their community I don’t know how they stay so motivated and sharp when they’ve no one in their competition, they could easily show up and put on an average performance and win anyway. But thats not how this band does it and they don’t put on half a show, so well done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this section there was again only one competitor which is disapointing as this used to be such a strong competition. Its just sad when so many bands have broken up or have chosen not to come to fleadh anymore. But on Sunday K and S attended the competition and put on a good perfromance from the accordion band. This is the second All Ireland i a row for this band and their 12th All Ireland in their history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This competition had two bands competing in it. The first band was only created in 2017 so it was a credit to them for even being at a good enough standard to get through to the All Ireland and they played very well for such a new band. The winners in this section stood out for their sharp drill routine and it was one of the best of the day. The Cloich Cheann Fhaola band got back to winning ways after losing out at last years All Ireland so its been a very successful year for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st Cloughaneely <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2nd Blanchards Town <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n In this section as many of you know controversy caused chaos after the results were announced. The two bands who showed they deserved to win unfortunately didn\u2019t get the result they deserved. Foxford Brass and Reed Band caused fascination by all the spectators who were intrigued by their uniqueness and different style of music. They performed their music to a very high standard and the melodies and harmonies were excellent. The only thing that let them down was their drill and it\u2019s simplicity but that could easily be improved for next year. The two bands who deserved to win were clearly a level above the other bands with their complex and fast paced routines which were performed to perfection and no lines were out of place. The winners of this section did put on a good performance but it wasn\u2019t as good as the other two band who should have won. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st Ramelton Town Band <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2nd Cloich Chenan Fhaola Senior <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3rd Donegal town Band <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 4th Foxford Brass and Reed Band <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tonight we\u2019ll have video highlights and our photo gallery on Facebook and tomorrow we\u2019ll have our Five talking points <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This year ten bands made the trip to the All Ireland Fleadh in Drogheda.
