BOHERBUE IN BID TO SCÓR GOLD

KANTURK’S MUIREANN VAUGHAN IS TO CO-COMPERE FINALS IN KILLARNEY

- John TARRANT

IT’S a short trek for Boherbue to Killarney’s INEC this Saturday for the All Ireland Scór na nÓg Finals, where Cork’s lone hopefuls are doubly represente­d, going in search of ultimate honours in the hotly competitiv­e national finals.

Promoting the cultural wing of the GAA, the diverse programme of music, song, dance and novelty acts draws participan­ts from all four provinces. In the prestigiou­s staging, Kanturk’s Muireann Vaughan will jointly act as Master of Ceremonies along with Conor Ó Ghallchoir from Donegal.

Cork seek accolades in a double interest from the Duhallow club, carrying the rebel county colours in a bid to repeat some outstandin­g successes from recent years.

Boherbue stormed home impressive winners in the Munster Final at set dancing. They will seek to continue their victory march from a line up involving Shane Daly, Gavin Daly, Eoghan Moynihan, Eoghan Aherne, Carmel Kelleher, Elisha Daly,Aoife O’Riordan and Aoidhbe Ducey.

Facing Boherbue in the exciting discipline are provincial winners Abbeyknock­moy (Galway), Glenullin (Derry) and St Joseph’s ( Westmeath).

Meanwhile, Boherbue return to familiar ground in the Question Time, a team of

Leah O’Sullivan, Ailish O’Hanlon, Donal Murphy and Dan Sheehan hoping to better last season’s runner up position. It promises to be competitiv­e, also in the field here are Cratloe (Clare), Spa (Kerry), Menlough/ Skehana (Galway), Kilglass (Roscommon), Claremorri­s (Mayo), Naomh Columba (Donegal), Killeavy (Armagh), Cornafean (Cavan), Wolfe Tones (Meath), Bunbrosna ( Westmeath) and O’Dwyers (Dublin).

Cork teams are renowned for their pursuits in Scór na nÓg, the county credited with 32 All Ireland titles under their belt – and Boherbue can already boast of seven of those.

Fingers are crossed the tally will rise on Saturday, Cork pinning their hopes on Boherbue to deliver the honours in Killarney.
