Roscommon clubs to contest All-Ireland Scór na nÓg Final 2025

The Hillgrove Hotel, Monaghan, will be a hotbed of GAA Cultural fare this coming Saturday, 25th January, as the All-Ireland Scór na nÓg Final 2025 reaches its conclusion. Clubs from across the country have qualified through local, county and provincial rounds of the hugely popular U17 competition and now the final four remaining clubs in each of the eight Scór disciplines will battle it out to bring the coveted Celtic Cross Medals and All Ireland titles back to their localities.
Roscommon has wonderful representation in this national decider with Kilglass Gaels, Kilmore and Elphin, flying the Rossie flag in the Farney County. In the Tráth na gCeisteanna (Question Time) the the Kilglass Gaels team of Tara Hall, Rory Conroy, Domhnall Diffley and Daniel Fallon will lead the charge. These young quiz enthusiasts will continue their club’s remarkable tradition and reputation in Scór’s Question Time event. Kilglass Gaels remain the only club in Ireland to win three All-Ireland Tráth na gCeisteanna titles in a row, winning four in the space of five years.

Kilmore’s Matthew Ffrench, will make his second appearance on the All-Ireland Scór stage, having previously reached this level back in 2022. He has brought great entertainment at every round this year in the Aithriseoireacht/Scéalaíocht discipline, with his self-penned piece. Matthew follows wonderful achievements for Roscommon clubs in this discipline, with our most recent win coming from Katie Heneghan back in 2016.

Elphin are Roscommon’s last competitors on the day. A club traditionally famed for their prowess in the Set Dancing and Question Time, they have made great strides in the Novelty Act section in recent years. This Saturday they make their very first appearance in the Scór na nÓg Novelty Act event and the talented team of Annie Kelly, Ryan Carroll, Roise Keane, Patrick Kelly, Tara Nolan, Cillian Carney, Moya Kelly and Henry Gunn, will hope their original piece can continue to draw delighted reactions on Saturday, and bring a sixth national title back to the club. Elphin will hope to emulate St. Dominic’s All-Ireland win in 2023 and bring the Nuachleas title back to the county for another year.

Coiste Scór Ros Comáin wishes all of our fantastic competitors every good wish for the final as they represent club, county and province. We salute the efforts of their clubs and families in getting them to this top level. We hope that most importantly they enjoy this very special occasion and do Roscommon proud. Anyone who is not making the journey north on Saturday can view the competition live through the TradTG4 Youtube channel. The event commences at 2pm. Links to view the final will be shared on the Scór Roscomáin and Roscommon GAA social media pages.
