Ulster Scór Semi Final

A huge thank you to everyone in St Joseph's, Glenavy for hosting the Ulster Scór Semi Final on Sunday 11th March. Thank you for your hospitality and for the use of St Clare's Community Hall. There was a fantastic atmosphere in a packed hall, as competitors from Antrim, Down, Monaghan, Fermanagh and Derry battled it out on the stage for a place in the Ulster Scór Final on 24th March in Silverbridge. 

Antrim took part in 6 of the 7 disciplines . First up was Lámh Dhearg who danced the 4 hand reel and gave a lovely performance. Next in the Amhránaíocht Aonair section, was Órlaith McAteer from Creggan, who sang a beautiful version of the Irish song " Jimí mo mhile stór." Aisling Dean from Glenavy was next to give a fantastic performance in the recitation section . St Ergnat's ,Moneyglass, represented Antrim in the Ballad Group section and also in the Instrumental Music and both groups progressed to the Ulster final. Glenavy's Léiriú was also successful in clinching a place in the Ulster final after a great performance. We are delighted to have 3 acts in the Ulster final but we are also extremely proud of all of the Antrim County Champions who took part on Sunday. Scór in Antrim is most certainly alive and well.
