It was a proud day for Munster in the Kingdom at the 50th All Ireland Scór na nÓg Final and led the way by claiming four titles with double wins for Tipperary and Kerry. It was a fantastic day for the province with a successful hosting of the finals complemented by superb performances from our Munster representatives.

The stage competitions got underway with Amhrán na bhFiann sung beautifully by the first All-Ireland Amhránaíocht Aonair Scór na nÓg Champion in 1973, Micheál Ó Riain of Pailís na Gréine, Luimneach. A fitting way to get proceedings underway for Scór na nÓg’s Golden Jubilee. Uachtarán CLG Labhrás Mac Carthaigh was in attendance and presented the cups and medals to the newly crowned All-Ireland Champions.

In the Rince Foirne, An Caisleán Nua completed a historic ‘Three-In-A-Row’ following their flawless performance of the Cross Reel. This feat is the first of its kind in the Scór na nÓg Rince Foirne competition. The South Tipperary club currently holds the highest silverware possible in Rince Foirne across all Scór competitions.

Dáithí Ó Cinnéide kept the Aithriseoireacht cup in Cúige Mumhan and brought Tipperary its second win of the day and its third Scór na nÓg recitation title after captivating the audience with the piece ‘The Cross-Eyed Monaghan Hurler’. This was Teampall Doire’s first All-Ireland Scór na nÓg success since their victorious Nuachleas in 2013.

It was a historic evening for Gleann Fleisce as they claimed their first ever Bailéad Ghrúpa title. Incidentally, in this Golden Jubilee year for Scór na nÓg their renditions of ‘The Land of the Gael’ and ‘Sailing Off to the Yankee Land’ brought the Kingdom its first Bailéad Ghrúpa title since the competition began in 1973.

Fellow East Kerry club An Spá danced their way to back-to-back titles in the Rince Seit following their lively and rhythmic performance of the Lackyke Set and brought a second All-Ireland cup to the Kingdom.

Cork’s Seán Ó Toráin of Sráid a’Mhuilinn did a fantastic job as Máistir na gCeist and provided an excellent, broad range of questions for the Tráth na gCeist teams which saw several tie-breakers questions needed to separate the top two.

Máirtín Ó Cathasaigh from Lios Póil, Ciarraí was an outstanding Fear an Tí, engaging and entertaining the crowd and did a tremendous job with Aontroim’s Caitríona Nic an tSaoir.

Huge congratulations to the winners, organisers, Fear & Bean an Tí, Máistir na gCeist and everyone involved in the efficient running of the final. Well done to all our representatives who just came up short for National honours; Tráth na gCeist – Cloch na gCoillte (Corcaigh), Na Pairnéalaigh Thrá Lí (Ciarraí), Tulach Sheasta (Tiobraid Árann); Amhránaíocht Aonair – Sibéal Ní Mhórdha, Raonaithe Cairbre (Corcaigh); Nuachleas – An Bhánóg (Luimneach); Ceol Uirlise – Na Niallaigh Crotta (Ciarraí).

It was fantastic to see such a marvellous celebration of our culture in this special 50th All-Ireland Final.
