Congratulations to our Scór na nÓg Instrumental Group (Éimear and Conor Quinn, Stephen and Colm Mc Mahon and Finbarr Brennan) who became only the 2nd team from Ulster in over 40 years of Scór na nOg to regain their All Ireland Crown. On Saturday in Castlebar they overcame opposition from Cork, Offaly and Sligo. Afterwards in the Royal Theatre Castlebar they received their All Ireland Medals from President of the GAA Liam O Neill. On Sunday the victorious team were welcomed home to Tullycorbet Community Centre. Present at the informal function from the Co. Board were Chairperson – Pádraig Sherry, Children’s Officer – John Mc Ardle, Irish and Cultural Officer Séamus Mc Elwain and secretary of the Irish and Cultural Committee Pauline Rooney. Chairperson of the Club Martin Mc Elearney welcomed all present and congratulated all the young musicians for putting Drumhowan and Tullycorbet on the map. Chairperson of Tullycorbet Community Group John Lennon also spoke as did Pauline Grogan our Cultural Officer. Anthony Brennan also told us about the history of Scór in the area . The final words were left to the man himself and tutor of the group Mr Francis Mc Mahon who along with the famous five made it all possible. He even whispered the no 3. No pressure then!! Also a big mention to the Quiz team of Colm and Stephen Mc Mahon, Finbarr Brennan and Patrick Duffy who finished a credible 4th out of 28th teams. Season Starts – While all teams are now busy back on the training grounds the Junior Bs officially start the football season on Sunday at 12 in the Platinum Tanks Div 1B when they take on Tyholland away. New B Management – as the season is about to start the club decided it was time to appoint management. 2 men have been appointed to the ticket so far. Best of luck to veteran at this stage Brendan Quinn and also newcomer Séamus Duffy. Further people will be appointed at a later stage once contracts are sorted!! All Players – remember it is now compulsory to wear a mouthguard in all training sessions and games. If not wearing one and you suffer a dental injury you are not covered by the GAA Insurance Scheme. |
