Saul GAC Club Notes for week of December
11th 2007
Ballad Group Scor-na-Nog
success continues
Congratulations to
the Saul Scor-na-nog Ballad Group
who now have at least equalled last
years performances already by winning
their Ulster semi-final at Swatragh
on Friday night. The Down champions
- Grainne Laverty, Nicole Leung-Soon,
Sarah McVeigh, Cristina Holland and
Roisin Sloan again put in a fantastic
performance to impress the Saul support,
the large watching audience and most
importantly the adjudicators to win
through in a high quality competition.
Overall it was a great night for Down
with Castlewellan (Instrumental Music),
Loughinisland (Question Time), Warrenpoint
(Set Dancing) and Rostrevor (Novelty
Act) all winning their place in the
Ulster Final which takes place on
Saturday 19th January at Galbally,
Co Tyrone. The opposition for the
Ballad Group Ulster title will come
from Tyrone (Kileeshil) and Armagh
(Carrickcruppin). With a big support
encouraged, Galbally is the place
to be on that night. Forget X factor,
this is where the musical talent is.
Well done girls plus Phil Stratton,
Gareth McGreevy and all the supporters
who made the long trip. The club fully
supports your push to go one better
and bring back an Ulster title to
start 2008 off in the best possible
way in January.
Annual General Meeting
on Sunday
The club's annual
general meeting takes place this Sunday
starting at 2pm sharp at the clubrooms.
Members are encouraged to attend as
this is your chance to have a say
in your club and prepare for a successful
2008.
Down Yearbook 2007
in the shops
The 2007 Down Yearbook,
produced by the Down County PRO, Diarmuid
Cahill with input from club and county
sides is now available at the Saul
clubrooms and in the shops. It has
over 200 pages packed with articles
and photographs of all aspects of
Gaelic Games in Down from Club to
County Level and has a spread on Saul
activity during the year - well worth
grabbing a copy priced at £10
each. An added club interest on this
years yearbook is that the Saul 2007
Ballad Group (County Champions and
Ulster Finalists) are featured as
one of the pictures on the front cover.
