St Mary’s Kiltoghert GAA Club Notes 20/02/2018

All IRELAND SCÓR NA NÓG – There were no All Ireland medals for St. Mary’s at Scór in Sligo on Saturday, but my God did the girls dance and sing their hearts out on stage. Well done to Emma Morgan, Áine Morgan, Nicole Glancy, Grace Duignan, Rhianna Ward, Kaneisha Beirne, Sienna Beirne, Amelia Zawadzka, Ava Brogan, Roisin Noone, Elsie Harman, Eleanor Smith and Rionach Nic Conmara who all flew the flag for St. Mary’s GAA, Leitrim & Connacht. These girls are oozing with talent, it’s very difficult for them to go back year after year and come away with no title on the day but keep at it girls, both groups are superb, and an All-Ireland title is just around the corner. We are all so proud of you and all you have achieved with Scór.

Our Connacht Champions finished off the evening with a homecoming in the clubhouse where they once again performed for family and friends. Thanks so much to everyone who travelled to Sligo on Saturday to support the girls and to everyone involved in preparing both groups.

Well done also to the other Leitrim participants Amelia Pajak from Mohill in Solo Singing and the Ballinamore Quiz Team.
