Rejuvenating Scór within Galtee Gaels
Over the years Galtee Gaels has had a proud tradition of participation in the Scór GAA competition. This year, the club is trying to rejuvenate the Scór competitions in the club and give all interested the opportunity to take part and represent the parish.
WHAT IS SCÓR?
Scór is a GAA competition that combines all the colour and rivalry of Gaelic Games with the social/fun element of Ireland’s traditional past-times. The competition was established by the GAA in 1969 with the aim of promoting Ireland’s traditional pastimes and culture while offering club members the chance to meet up, have fun and represent their club during the winter months while football and hurling had ceased.
HOW ARE SCÓR COMPETITIONS RUN?
Just like the All-Ireland Football and Hurling Championships, clubs taking part in Scór first run off competitions among the club’s own members with the winners going forward to Divisional/District Board stage where deemed necessary, and then on to the county final. The winners go on to the Provincial final and finally on to the All-Ireland final.
There are three age categories in Scór; Scór na bpaistí (primary school children), Scór na nÓg (U17) and Scór Sinsir (over 17)
There are eight events in Scór that cover all aspects of Irish culture: These include: -Ceilí Dancing - Solo Singing - Recitation or story telling- Instrumental musicSet Dancing -Table Quiz
Scór na bpaistí and Scór na nÓg competitions are starting in March, while Scór Sinsir is taking place in May.
HOW TO TAKE PART
While we appreciate that it may be short notice for the competitions in March, we would ask for anyone interested in competing or with any questions relating to the competition, to contact Eric on 086-8065598 or Martin on 087-6054736. We hope there will be some interest in Scór this year, one that we can build on for future years and future generations. It would be a great experience and wonderful opportunity, especially for the youth of Kilbehenny and Anglesboro to represent their club and parish or perhaps even their county all the way to an All-Ireland final.
