The Maghery Senior Band claimed their fifth All Ireland in a row yesterday in Drogheda’s Fleadh Cheoil an hEireann!

The senior competitors performed another winning routine for the Fleadh spectators and those watching live around the world.

The band’s routine was remarked as a ‘masterclass in the senior flute section’.
