COISTE SCOR CHIARRAI.

ALL IRELAND FINALS.

All Ireland glory for the Kingdom in both Recitation and Set Dancing as  the curtain came down on Scor Na nOg, the first competition of the year that started back in November 2013 at District Board level and came to a conclusion on Saturday last in “Travellers Friend”, Castlebar where the All Ireland Finals took place.

Certainly it was a day to remember for the Kingdom and especially the Spa G A A Club who collected two National Titles at Under 17 level. Allison Fitzmartin in the Recitation category gave a tremendous performance with an extract from the John B Keane play “Moll” and in fairness there was never a doubt as to the end result such was her unerring performance. To cap a marvellous day the Set Dancers from Spa and after loosing out in the All Ireland final last year they captured their first title in this discipline and here Aine Brosnan, Anna O Connor, Rachel Moynihan, Erin Holland,

 Eoin O Donoghue, Kianan O Doherty, Liam Spillane, Gary O Sullivan made it a remarkable occasion for the Club and as each of the victors came forward to be presented with their All Ireland medals by Uachtaran Chumann Luthchleas Gael, Liam O Neill there was great scenes of jubilation amongst the huge Kerry continguent that travelled to the Mayo venue. 

Not forgetting the Spa Quiz Team of Thomas Fleming, Michael Aherne, James Lynch, Niamh Clifford and despite loosing out still put in a very creditable performance. Without doubt this was a marvellous honour for Coiste Scor Chiarrai to have so many involved at this stage of the competition and all the participants, Tutors and supporters can feel very proud as they did our County proud.

Now we move on to the next age group; Scor Sinsear at Fossa Community Centre on Saturday March 15^th for the County Finals which will have a 6pm starting time.

MUNSTER SCOR NA NOG FINAL

It was a fantastic  evening for the Spa Club as All Ireland glory beckons for their Set Dancers of Áine Brosnan, Rachel Moynihan, Kianan O'Doherty, Eoin O'Donoghue, Gary O'Sullivan, Liam Spillane, Anna O'Connor & Erin Holland along with Allison Fitzmartin  in Recitation; they will now be joined at the All Irelands Finals by the Quiz team of Niamh Clifford, Thomas Fleming, James Lynch and Michael Aherne who at an earlier stage of the competition won through in this category. This winning streak has created history not alone within the Club but also in the County having three representatives from the one Club in both Scor Na nOg and during the mid 2000s also at senior level. However lets not forget our remaining  participants of Keel, (Ballad Group), Fossa, (Instrumental Music) and Na Gaeil, (Leiriu); while despite giving tremendous performances and with just one from the four in each category going forward keeping the huge Kerry continguent in tenderhooks it proved just a bridge too far on this occasion. However it was a great honour for Scor in the County to have so many involved at this stage of the competition and all the participants can feel proud of their performances, they did both their respective Clubs and County proud on the day. Former Cultural Officer of the Kerry County Committee, Diarmuid O Shea, Dromid did a wonderful job as Fear a Ti. Cork dominated on the day been victorious in Figure Dancing and Ballad Group, (Boherbue), Solo Singing, (Courcey Rovers), Instrumental Music, (Clyda Rovers), Tipperarys Borrisoleigh won the Leiriu.

All Ireland Finals of Scor Na nOg will take place in the Travellers Friend, Castlebar, County Mayo on Saturday March 1^st commencing at 3pm.

When proceedings got underway we had the usual high standard of competition from the competing counties which involved Kerry, Limerick and Cork and with the format at this stage of competition that two out of each category would qualify for the Munster Finals the Adjudicators had a difficult task on deciding as to who would go through to represent their respective Counties.

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.

Kerry were represented in both Recitation, Gearoid Galvin representing his North Kerry club, St. Senans and Spa from the East Kerry Board Liam Spillane, Gary O'Sullivan, Ciaran O'Doherty, Eoin O'Donoghue, Katie O'Connor, Anna O'Connor, Katie Cronin, and Ciara O'Shea taking part in the Set Dancing. The standard of competition was of the highest order with four clubs in each category and just one to be crowned All Ireland Champions; it certainly kept everybody in tenderhooks until the Adjudicators made their final deliberations; however despite giving tremendous performances our Kerry representatives failed to get the Adjudicators nod on the day. In the Recitation Gearoid Galvin was just edged out by Monaghan while the Spa Set Dancers must feel unlucky as they were well in the shake up for honours also. Cavan were the winners here and surely after appearing in the last 7 consecutive All Ireland Finals they deserved their moment of joy in securing their first title in this discipline. There was some consolation for Kerry though as Boherbue of Cork won the Figure Dancing and here Triona Mangan of Killarney. Tipperary in the Novelty Act were the only other Munster County to win.

This Saturday March 23rd is a very special day for the families of Gearoid Galvin, St, Senans and the Set Dancing group from Spa comprising of Liam Spillane, Gary O'Sullivan, Ciaran O'Doherty, Eoin O'Donoghue, Katie O'Connor, Anna O'Connor, Katie Cronin, and Ciara O'Shea who will be representing their Clubs and County in the Scor Na nOg All Ireland Finals which will take place on this Saturday February 23rd at the Dome in County Derry 

While some may think that all of Kerry's efforts revolve around activities on the field of play, I can assure you that on this occasion the very best of Kerry talent will be displayed in two very important categories namely Recitation and Set Dancing at the All Ireland Finals of Scor na nÓg. 

To reflect on that fantastic journey I will begin by giving a brief profile on the competitors that carry all our hopes and best wishes. In the Recitation category we have a young man by the name of Gearoid Galvin carrying the County colours. Gearoid hails from the St. Senans Club in North Kerry and having been involved in Scor for the past seven years; 2012/13 was the year that he made the break-through winning a County and Munster title in this category. But indeed he is no stranger to the stage having played the leading role in the Clubs Novelty Act and he has to his credit four County Titles, along with making three Munster Final appearances. He also featured in All Irelands and won Titles at Culture Corner and Scleipe Gaeil, (Scealaiocht) Scoil Competitions. The Spa, Set Dancers, carry the East Kerry Football Board and County Colours and who make up the very talented set that saw them emerge in recent times from Scor Na bPaisti a competition first introduced in 2004. Certainly with 12 Senior All Ireland Dancing Titles to their name I suppose All Ireland glory is nothing new to the Spa Club when it comes to Dancing; with their Seniors having achieved glory in both Figure, (6) and Set (5) since 2002. The remaining title was won by Siobhain O Brien in the Solo Singing category back in the late 80s. A remarkable achievement indeed. Having achieved glory at Scor Na bPaisti this latest group who are new to the scene at this level will be strong contenders for a National Title going by their performances to date. However the Club having been involved in Scor Na nOg for over 30 years or so ; this is only their second time to contest an All Ireland at this grade. However the Clubs record speaks for itself when it comes to National Titles in dancing. So spare a taught during the next few days for these young competitors as they embark in a lifetime memory by representing their Club and County at All Ireland level in the wonderful Dome in the beautiful city of Derry. We know they will do us all proud.
