Connacht Scór Sinsir Final 2023

Connacht Scór Sinsir Final 2023

St. Brigid’s Hall in Tubbercurry played host to the Connacht GAA Scór Sinsir Final 2023 on Saturday last. The cream of GAA talent from across the province gathered in the Sligo town to contest Connacht GAA’s cultural showpiece and earn the right to represent club and county in the All Ireland Scór Sinsir Final.  

The first event for decision was the Tráth na gCeisteanna Boird. After challenging rounds of questions, Bornacoola (Leitrim), Castlebar Mitchells (Mayo) and Kilglass Gaels (Roscommon) qualified from the preliminary table quiz at the expense of Caltra (Galway) and St. Molaise Gaels (Sligo). In the stage final, it was the Leitrim representatives who came out on top, with Mayo and Roscommon placing second and third respectively.  

The Rince Foirne competition saw teams from Aghamore (Mayo), Mohill (Leitrim) and St. Dominic’s (Roscommon), turn in graceful performances of their dances. However, it was the Leitrim standard bearers who took top honours and secured their place in the national final. 

The Amhránaíocht Aonair event was hotly contested. John Butler (St. Mary’s, Leitrim), Christina Ralph (Castlebar, Mayo), Sarah Snee (Eastern Harps, Sligo), Orla Hession (Abbeyknockmoy) delivered great renditions of their songs. But it was Sarah Keane of Elphin , Roscommon, who won the hearts of the adjudicators with her performance.  

In the Recitation/Storytelling, Aidan Dockery (Bornacoola, Leitrim), Patrick Mullooly (St. Dominics, Roscommon), Saoirse White (Sligo) challenged strongly before giving way to Mayo champion, Kevin Henry (Ballyhaunis). His delivery proved very popular with the large crowd, securing Mayo’s only win of the night.  

In the Ballad Group competition, Abbeyknockmoy gave a spellbinding performance on route to winning the coveted provincial crown. In doing so they overcame the gallant efforts of Bornacoola (Leitrim) Padraig Pearses (Roscommon) and Ballyhaunis (Mayo).   

In the Novelty Act competition, the challenge of Kilfian(Mayo) and Abbeyknockmoy (Galway) gave way to Elphin of Roscommon. The Roscommon actors entertained the audience with their humorous take on the Irish Dancing Feis and in doing they secured their club’s second title of the night.  

The Ceol Uirlise, while short on entries, delivered some of the evening’s highest standard in competition. Elphin and Abbeyknockmoy both gave fantastic performances of their tunes. But it was the top class delivery of the Galway group, that  impressed the adjudicators.  

Abbeyknockmoy finished off a hugely successful night with a win in the Rince Seit, ensuring a hat trick of titles for the East Galway club. Pitted against were St. Dominic’s (Roscommon) and Sean Ó’Heslin’s  of Leitrim. The Galway champions delivered a rousing performance of the Longford Set.  

A huge well done to all the competitors who represented their clubs and counties on Saturday. A massive word of thank you to the committee of St. Brigid’s Hall for their assistance and help to ensure the event ran smoothly. A word of appreciation also to our wonderful Bean an Tí, Aoife Ní Chonghaile, who kept proceedings efficiently moving and to our Quiz Master, Eamonn Brennan and adjudicators for their diligent services.  

The All Ireland Scór Sinsir Final will be held in the INEC Killarney on Saturday 18th November. This will be an all ticket event and County Cultural Officers/Scór committees will be in contact in the coming days with details and more information.

Mayo Senior Hurling Management Team Ratified

Press Release www.mayogaa.com

Mayo GAA senior hurling management team ratified at County Board meeting this evening.

Ray Larkin and Brian Finn and their backroom team were ratified at a meeting of the Mayo GAA County Board this evening in Castlebar.  Larkin and Finn have been offered a two year term and take over from Dave McConn and Tom Phillips, who stepped down after just one year at the helm.

Galway native, Ray Larkin led Tooreen hurling club to the AIB GAA All-Ireland Intermediate hurling final against Limerick’s Monaleen in Croke Park earlier this year. The Kilnadeema/Leitrim clubman has won six county hurling finals and four Connacht hurling titles.  Brian Finn has managed the Mayo U17 Celtic Challenge hurling team and the Mayo U20 hurling team for the past two years.

Former Sligo GAA senior hurling manager Pádraig Mannion was also ratified this evening as a new addition to the Mayo senior hurling backroom team.  The Galway native who spent three years at the helm with the Sligo senior hurlers winning back-to-back Allianz National Hurling League promotions in 2020 and 2021 will act as a selector with Larkin and Finn.  Mannion also managed the Athleague senior hurling team to the Roscommon County Hurling Final in 2020.

Larkin and Finn have assembled a very impressive backroom team with former Galway senior hurler Nigel Shaughnessy enlisted as head coach. The Loughrea native has also coached senior hurling club sides Clarinbridge and Killimordaly in Galway and Na Piarsaigh in Limerick.

Mayo GAA Hurling Chairperson Sean Ó Raghallaigh wished Ray, Brian, Nigel and Padraig well in their new positions.  “There are twelve adult senior hurling teams in Mayo at present and I know they will cast their net wide and far in search for the best players to represent Mayo in the coming year.  Tremendous work is taking place in all the hurling clubs in Mayo to promote the game of hurling at present and the Mayo GAA hurling committee will not be found wanting in supporting them,” commented Sean Ó Raghallaigh.
