RIP: Our sincere sympathy to Mary Ross and her family on the passing of her father Patrick (Pat) Ross last week. May he rest in peace.
Scór: Last Friday night saw a group of Na Gaeil supporters make their way to the Community Hall in Milltown for the Scór na nÓg Co final. Representing the club in Dramaíocht & Aithriseoracht were Tom & Sam Gleasure, Bríd O Sullivan, Faye & Isla Fitzmaurice & Caoimhe Daly. Our young thespians were crowned Co champions following a fine performance of ‘The Matchmaker’ written by our very own Playwright-in-Residence Mary Quirke. In the Recitation competition Caoimhe Daly – in her own inimitable way – told the story of Bridget & the Lurkeen and was awarded the silver medal for her efforts. Normally, County winners would progress to a Munster Final, but due to some Scór reorganisation at National Level, this won’t happen at this time. Thanks and well done to all the kids named above for their hard work over the last few weeks, and to their parents for supporting us in Milltown. We’ll be starting Scór na bPáistí very soon, so if you have a child who might be interested, please contact Margaret at 086- 0855008.
