Scór: Well done to all our young members who represented the club with distinction at Spraoi Scór in Threemilehouse on Friday week last.

Those who participated were: Helen McCrystal (recitation & instrumental), Dervla Gallagher (solo singer & instrumental), Rossa Gilsenan (recitation, ballad & instrumental), Clara Morgan (Ballad), Laura Drum (Ballad), Aisling Gallagher (instrumental), Leah Reilly (Ballad & instrumental), Aisling O’Riordan (Ballad & instrumental), Luke Coyle (instrumental), Orla Corrigan (instrumental), Aisling Corrigan (instrumental), Grace McCleary (instrumental) and the Tráth na gCeist team of Lorcan O’Rourke, Shane McCabe, Conor McCrystal, Killian Conlon, Seán Conway and Killian McAdam. Thanks also to everyone involved in the preparations for this competition. Next up later this month is Scór na nÓg (for Under-17s).
