Scór Na nÓg All Ireland Finals All roads lead to The Royal Theatre in Castlebar this weekend when a bus full of eager young performers, their mentors, families and supporters head westbound for the All Ireland Finals of Scór Na nÓg.
Our talented group of Léiriú hopefuls will take to the stage on Saturday afternoon carrying the hopes of club, county and province when they perform the superb “ A Sideline View”, penned by Scriptwriter Supremo Mary Quirke to a packed auditorium at The Travellers Friend Arena.
This is a huge achievement for these young thespians who have put in huge commitment and dedication over the recent months in reaching the final hurdle of this highly competitive contest and we hope they enjoy the wonderful experience that awaits them.
This of course would not be possible without our magnificent mentors Mary Quirke and Margaret Doody who are instrumental in putting Na Gaeil on the Scór map and are now a performance away from possible All Ireland glory.
The club is so proud of you all and send the very best of luck for Saturday next to Joshua Roche, Rory Reen, Emily & Isabelle Crowe, Áine & Aoife O’Sullivan and Gráinne & Dearbhala Quirke Na Gaeil Abú!

Free Digital Skills Course Our Club are looking for members who are interested in participating in a Free Digital Skills Course.

Dates and times will be scheduled depending on demand. This is a great opportunity for anybody wishing to brush up on their computer skills and it’s free. So please come along and sign up as soon as possible and we will get the course up and running.
Comedy Drama If you enjoyed our comedy dramas over the past two years, then I strongly suggest that you mark the 27th, 28th of February and 2nd March your diary, because the latest offering from the pen of the supremely talented Mary Quirke is currently in rehearsal!
The title this year is One Ordination and a Donation, and it is shaping up to be just as hilarious as One Wedding and a Funeral and One Murder and a Christening!
If you were fortunate enough to see the shenanigans last year, you will remember that a modern day miracle occurred at the end of the saga, with the transformation of Holy Water into brandy. Mary continues the story from this point, and the ensuing chaos and hilarity will surely lift the clubhouse roof on all three of the performance nights!
Tickets, priced at €20, are now available in the bar, and my advice is to purchase early, because if last year was anything to go by, demand will be massive!!
Tickets If you haven’t yet secured tickets for our upcoming drama, One Ordination and a Donation, then I suggest you do so quickly!
The performance on Saturday the 2nd March is completely sold out and the other two dates – Wednesday the 27th February and Thursday the 28th – are selling briskly! Don’t miss an opportunity to see this hilarious comedy!
