Congratulation to Drumhowan’s  Scór na nÓg Instrumental Group (Éimear and Conor Quinn, Stephen and Colm Mc Mahon and Finbarr Brennan) who became only the 2nd team from Ulster in over 40 years of Scór na nOg to regain their All Ireland Crown. On Saturday in Castlebar they overcame opposition from Cork, Offaly and Sligo. Afterwards in the Royal Theatre Castlebar they received their All Ireland Medals from President of the GAA Liam O Neill. On Sunday the victorious team were welcomed home to Tullycorbet Community Centre. Present at the informal function from the Co.
