The Scór season opened on Saturday and what an afternoon was had  in the Clontibret Community Centre with Scór

na bPáistí before a large and enthusiastic audience. Children from 12   clubs all across the county treated the

audience to a fantastic evening of music, song and dance. There were 52 acts throughout the afternoon a great achievement for all in the County as not all Counties hold Scór na bPáistí .

Comhghairdeas to Stephan Mc Mahon  from Druim Shamhain  who was a very capable Fear an Tí for the afternoon. He kept the evening moving and was a delight to work with behind the scenes .  There was great help backstage who kept the afternoon running very smoothly the afternoon. Katie Boyle  from  Achadh Bog  sang  Amhrán na bhFiann.

The audience were exposed a host of dances, songs. recitations and tunes from the children around the County. The Tráth na gCeist  was quite a highlight of the evening with 14 teams who battled through the questions.

Mile Buiochas to Dessie Moen Cluain Tiobrad who made a guest appearance  on the night to present trophies to the  winners.

families and clubs. Special thanks go to the parents and mentors who prepared  the children for this event.
