All Ireland Scór Sinsir Final Preview

Roscommon have excellent representation at next Saturday’s All Ireland Scór Sinsir Final in the INEC, Killarney. Having contested strongly in all 8 disciplines at Connacht level and winning the Cormac McGill Cup for the county with best participation and victories, the Rossies will look to complete a wonderful Scór campaign with national silverware. 

Elphin are contesting 2 events next weekend. Early on Saturday they will vie for their place in the stage heat of the  Tráth na gCeisteanna which is initially ran off as a table quiz amongst 12 qualifiers, 3 from each province. With a proven pedigree in this event, Ephin will hope to emulate the club’s very first All Ireland Scór title, for Tráth na gCeisteanna in 1972. 

The club will round off the day as they step it out in a competition they are synonymous with, the Rince Seit. Having won this prestigious title on two previous occasions, 1998 and 2001, Elphin will hope their prowess and tradition can get them over the line on Saturday. 

St. Ronan’s have continued an excellent return to Scóractivities in recent years by winning their third Connacht ScórSinsir title in four years. As their Ceol Uirlise Group take to the stage at this weekend, they will hope that perhaps this year they can bring national honours back to an area of the county steeped in musical tradition. 

Like St. Ronans, Padraig Pearses have made huge efforts to reinvigorate Scór within their club. On Saturday, Tom Costello will represent club and county in the Recitation/Storytelling event. Tom proved a very popular winner at  Connacht level with his original piece. Let’s hope he can take a first title back to a club with a proud Scórtradition. 

Coiste Scór agus Cultúir, CLG Ros Comáin, extend their best wishes to all of the county’s representatives as they fly the flag for us in Killarney. To have such strong Roscommon presence at the finals is a wonderful achievement in itself.

Na Rosaithe Abú!
