Scor na nog Ballad Group into Ulster Final

The Saul Scor-na-nog Ballad Group continued their great run of success when they followed their confirmation as Down County Champions last week with a great 1st place in the Ulster Semi-Final at Edmond Rice College Glengormly on Saturday evening. The girls represented their club and county brilliantly and overcame the Derry and Antrim champions to progress to the Ulster Final. Well done to Grainne Laverty, Claudia Leung-Soon, Nicole Leung-Soon, Sarah McVeigh and Cristina Holland for the continuing credit they're bringing to the blue and gold.

On a great night for Down, Loughinisland (Question Time), St Johns (Set Dancing) and Claire Rooney (Mayobridge - Recitation) also won through to the final with Derry (2) and Antrim claiming the other wins in the Solo Singing, Novelty Act and Ceili Dancing.

Well done, Grainne, Claudia, Nicole, Sarah and Cristina and all the successful Down reps. You can be sure of Saul support in the Ulster final at Silverbridge, Armagh on Saturday January 20th.
