Sean
Rooney making a presentation to Claire
Rooney in behalf of the Mayobridge club
A very enjoyable
little function was held on Wednesday
night past in Mayobridge GAA Centre to
pay tribute to Claire Rooney, winner of
the Recitation competition at the
All-Ireland Scór na nÓg finals in
Athlone in February last.
Singers, musicians
and dancers, along with guests from
several County Down GAA clubs and from
Carrickcruppen GAA in County Armagh
gathered for a night of entertainment
put on by the guests themselves, all of
whom had competed in Scór at various
levels.
Special mention was
made of the parents of the area who
encourage their children to take part in
music, song, drama and the cultural arts
and how the benefits from that can last
the children all their lives.
Five All-Ireland Scór
titles had come to the Mayobridge club,
and to County Down in just eight years,
but without that parental support it
just wouldn’t have happened.
Brian Kennedy,
chairman of the County Down Scór
committee congratulated Claire on her
victory and also thanked the Mayobridge
club members who work for Scór in the
County, he also invited all clubs in the
county to the special Scór Celebration
Night in Clonduff on this Friday night
20th and reminded them of the
Scór Convention in Castlewellan on 24th
April.
Sean Rooney,
representing the club chairman P.J.
Magee who had to attend a prior arranged
meeting in Armagh, presented Claire with
a memento to remind her of her win;
Claire in reply, thanked the Mayobridge
club members for all their support over
the years and also all those who came
along on the night to celebrate her
success. |
