Antrim Scór acts make history in Castlebar

The All Ireland Scór na nÓg Final took place this weekend in Castlebar . The venue was the TF Royal Theatre and what a venue it was. With a magnificent stage and an electric atmosphere, all of the young people competing had a special platform on which to showcase their talents on this, the 50th year of Scór.

The first Antrim act to take the stage were the Ceili Dancers from St Mary's Aghagallon. They danced the Cross Reel and after they performed we knew that they had danced better than ever before .

Mary Kate Bonnes was next to take the stage with her emotional and heartfelt recitation "The Child I did not know " by Patsy O'Hagan. Her stunning performance made sure that she was most definitely in the running for an All Ireland Title.

Aghagallon's Leiriu "3 wishes for the 50th year of Scór" was the final act to represent Antrim. They had the audience dancing , cheering, laughing and on the edge of their seats with their amazing acting skills.

It was a huge achievement for the County to have 3 acts in the All Ireland but to come home with 3 All Ireland titles and 17 medals for the County is absolutely unbelievable and the first time that the County has won 3 All Irelands in one year . It's great to be able to say that we have made history in the 50th year of Scór .

A huge well done also to the quiz team from Con Magee's in Glenravel who are the current County Champions and who represented the County in the All Ireland Table Quiz. They did a fantastic job and lost out to Cornafean, County Cavan. We are equally as proud of you all and remember you are still Antrim Champions which is a huge honour in itself.
