Scor Volunteers Required

There are eight events/disciplines in Scór that cover all aspects of Irish culture: Figure/Céilí Dancing, Solo Singing, Ballad Group, Recitation/Scéalaíocht, Léiriú Stáitse/Stage Presentation, Instrumental Music, Set Dancing and Table Quiz. The competition is divided into two age levels, Scór na nÓg, for young people under 17 and Scór Sinsir, for those over 17.

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.

It is interesting to note the All Ireland Scór champions are presented with their medals by the President of the GAA. Winners are All-Ireland champions in their own right in the same way as All-Ireland Senior Football or Hurling Final winners!

What we need....

Paula Magee is the county scor secretary. Paula has offered to come out and meet us to discuss and help promote scor within the club.

Thanks to Claire Jebb one of the juvenile parents who has put herself forward to get involved. We would be delighted to recruit a few more to get an organisation in place, first of all to meet with Paula and then to set up plans for our partisapation in this important part of our GAA culture.

I am now asking if you or anyone you know would be interesed in getting involved just let Club Secretary Paul Collins know on email:

secretary.stpauls.down@gaa.ie.

As highlighted before, we are privileged to have so many musicians in North Down young and old. It would be great if we could promote these within the county and further afield.

We are more than a Football or Hurling Club, we are keen to show all our talents...Get Involved!!
