Scór na bPaistí takes pride of place in Foilmore

A HUGE congratulations to all the children who participated in the South Kerry final of Scor na bpaisti which was held in the Foilmore Community Centre.

There was a great representation from seven of the South Kerry clubs and a great night of entertainment was enjoyed by the large crowd who attended. Deidre Lyne did an excellent job as Bean An Tí on the night.

Thank you to all the people who helped out on the night with parking and stewarding in the hall. Ger Mangan did an excellent job on Sound and to the Judges who had the hardest job of all. A work of thanks to our sponsors Sceilg Ola.
