There was great excitment on Saturday night
past, January 19th as 3 East Down GAA clubs
set off with high expectations of bringing
home some Ulster titles to County Down in
the Scór na nÓg Ulster finals.
The 3 clubs were Saul (Ballad Group), Loughinisland
(Quiz team) and Castlewellan (Instrumental
Music). Also representing Down would be Rostrevor
(Novelty Act) and Warrenpoint (Set Dancing).
It was a great nights entertainment but the
only club with success on the night was Castlewellan
who played exceptionally on the night and
swept the boards with 3 1sts. The East Down
board wish to congratulate all Down competitors
on getting as far as they did. Especially
to the East Down teams of Loughinisland Quiz
Team and Saul Ballad group who performed exceptionally
well on the night. We hope they will all,
and indeed all other Down acts, grace the
same stage again next year.
A big hearty congratulations to Castlewellan
Instrumental group made up of Emer Walsh,
Orla and Niall McCrickard- lets hope they
bring an All Ireland back to County Down.
Senior Scór is now fast approaching
and the East Down Scór committee would
remind clubs to get their entry forms sent
in as soon as possible. The first round is
on Friday 8th February in Teconnaught with
the second preliminary round taking place
in Dundrum on Sunday 10th February. The clubs
will be assigned to each venue next week and
are asked to attend the venue assigned to
them. Let's hope some of our senior scór
acts can get just as far as Castlewellan Instrumental
Group!
