Scór na bPáistí
The Castleisland district final of Scór na bpáistí took place on Sunday evening in Knocknagoshel. Ballymac were very well represented in most catagories. The club had 3 winners on the night. Ella Quirke won the recitation with a brilliant version of “Dancing round me Handbag”. The figure dancers, Abbey Leahy, Alice Brosnan, Laura Kelly, Emma Daly, Ella and Maggie Scanlon, Ri-Ann Zyang and Ella Quirke danced beautifully to claim the title.
Our Leiriu group were magnificent with their version of events that happened in 1916. In a very moving piece written by Maurice O Connell there were very few dry eyes in the house! The cast of Micheal and Conal Savage, Emma and Thomas Leen, Jared O Bhriain, Eimear Curran, Jamie Sugrue and Tom Long preformed exceptionally well on the night.
All three acts now go forward to the County Semi Final on Sunday 10th April at the Tintean theatre in Ballybunion.
Ballymac GAA club also won the best club award on the night. Many thanks to all the boys and girls that represented the club so well on the night and to everyone who helped prepare the kids for the show.
BUS TO CASTLEBAR
Ballymac carried a bus load of young and not so young supporters to Kerry’s National League game in Mayo on Sunday last. Many thanks to Jer Lynch for this organisation of this bus. A great day out was had by all.
