On Sunday last March 30th a packed U. L.  hoisted  2014 Munster Finals of  Scor Sinsear. Certainly it was another special day and one to cherish for Scor in the County as the Kingdom were  participating in all of the seven catagories. The Quiz which had already been finalised at County Final day and here the Churchill Club from Tralee/St. Brendans Board had already booked their place at the All Ireland Finals. Without doubt the the wealth of talent in Scor in the County was very much in evidence with the Kingdom coming away with three Munster Titles having to overcome  stiff opposition from the remaining five Munster Counties. In the winners enclosure when the Adjudicators made their final deliberations were; from the East Kerry Board, Glenflesk took the Figure Dancing category, Ray O Sullivan from Spa brought down the house in the Recitation section while Kilcummin showed a clean pair of heels to all others taking the Set Dancing discipline. However we must spare a thought for our other competitors who performed very well but just lost out Aoife Ni Choilean, Austin Stacks, Solo Singing., Kilcummin, Ballad Group, Na Gaeil in Leiriu and Ballydonoghue in Instrumental The final step of the journey for our victorious Clubs will be the Travellers Friend, Castlebar where the All Ireland Finals of Senior Scor on Saturday April 26st will take place.

" style="text-decoration:underline;font-size:small"> SCOR. 17th September 2013

At a meeting of the Munster Scor on Monday night last it was announced that the Novelty Act will after all be part of the Scor programme; it will now be called Leiriu

This will apply to all Scor competitions for 2013/14.
Thanks; Coiste Scor Chiarrai Thuaidh, Jack Hennessy.

The National Scór Committee has this week issued the new rule book for Scór competitions.
The important changes to note
1. The new category called Léiriú will replace the Novelty act. Groups are still encouraged to write their own scripts with elements of live music, dance and comedy. The biggest difference between Léiriú and the Novelty is that Comórtas Léiriú must depict an event or events from the history or mythology of Ireland or the history or mythology of the country of birth/origin of member(s) of the
cast.
2. The categories of Recitation, Léiriú, Solo singing and Ballad may include pieces based on Irish history and folklore or on the history and folklore of the country of birth/origin of the competitor.
3. The quiz will continue to be organised by Scór but will be held on a different night. It will be a table quiz with 10 rounds of 10 questions. There will be a county final with each winner from the 32 counties participating in the All Ireland final. This will be held on the eve of the All Ireland Scór Finals. The categories for the 10 rounds are
1) Gaelic and Ladies Football
2) Hurling and Camogie
3) Babhta amháin as Gaeilge ar imeachtaíChumann Lúthchleas Gael.
Freagraí as Gaeilge amháin
4) Irish History
5) World History
6) Irish Geography
7) Irish Current Affairs
8) World Current Affairs
9) Irish Culture
10) General Knowledge.

A.G.M. The Coiste Scor Chiarrai Annual A.G.M. will take place at the Austin Stack, Park, Pavilion on this Thursday September 26th with a starting time of 9pm sharp. It is important that 2 delegates from each Club are requested to be in attendance on the night.

The Glenflesk Figure Dancers of, Angela McCarthy, Linda O Donoghue, Siobhain Cashman, Mairead Cashman, Norita Cashman, Lisa Cronin, Cliona Creedon, Niamh Favier and Maria Cronin along with their Dancing Teacher, Norrie Sheehan and many supporters made the long trip to the Dome, in County Derry on Saturday last for the All Ireland Finals of Senior Scor. In fairness it was a duel between Omagh, St. Endas and Glenflesk for the title but unfortunately even though the Kingdom ladies danced to perfection and were well in contention for honours it was the Tyrone Club who received what must be a split decision when the Adjudicators made their final deliberations. However great credit is due to all associated with this wonderful group of ladies who have done both their Club and County proud and certainly there is no shame in defeat when you can perform like they did.

Ten Clubs took part, Listowel Emmets, Asdee, Duagh, Ballydonoghue, Beale, Tarbert, St. Senans, Clounmacon, Moyvane and Ballylongford with the standard of competition of a very high quality. Fear A Ti for the occasion was Vice Chairman of Coiste Scor Chiarrai, Jackie Walsh who did a fine job keeping everything running smoothly on the night. Then when the Adjudicators made their final decision it proved to be a successful night for the St. Senans Club going through in both Ballad Group and Solo Singing.

Asdee were the winners in the Novelty Act, Question Time went to Listowel Emmets, Ballydonoghue were worthy Instrumental Music victors, Duagh go through in Figure Dancing, Beale took the honours in the Set Dancing while Moyvane were the winners in the Recitation section.
