Summary
With fewer children around (96 on the school roll in 1988, 46 by 2000), Fohenagh joined Ahascragh at underage level in 1999, and won county U-14 B and Minor B titles straight away. On 21 January 2002 both clubs held their AGMs at the same time and amalgamated as Ahascragh-Fohenagh. For many who remembered the 1950s glory days, losing their 112-year-old club was sad, but there was no other way.
