The current Castleblayney Faughs club was founded in November 1905. Within two years the Faughs won the Monaghan Senior Football Championship for the first time. After winning their second title in 1916, Castleblayney went on to beat Derry Sarsfields in the final of the National Aid tournament in 1917, a precursor to the Ulster Club Championship.[1] They moved to their current grounds at St Mary's Park in 1953. Castleblayney reached the final of the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship in 1975, losing to St Joseph's.[2] Blayney won the Ulster championship in 1986 beating All-Ireland champions Burren in the final. A second Ulster title was added in 1991 where they defeated Killybegs.[3] The club's most recent county championship win came in 2003 when they won the title for the 37th time.[4]
