Armagh representatives look forward to Ulster final Gaels from Killeavy, Whitecross and Cullyhanna will be amongst the large crowd expected at Saturday’s Ulster Scór na nÓg final in Downpatrick as their young ambassadors aim for a provincial title. Having claimed the county Scór na nÓg crown and performing very well in the Ulster semi-final, the céilí dancing team from Cill Shléibhe will hope to emulate last year’s Armagh representatives, Whitecross, tomorrow night to retain the Ulster Scór na nÓg céilí title for Armagh. One of last year’s Ulster champions in the céilí discipline will return to the Ulster final yet again, this time in the solo singing competition. Cailíosa Ní Dhúill is well used to the big stage and having claimed the Armagh solo singing title for the second time, she will be hoping for a big performance on Saturday evening to add to her amazing haul across the Scór na nÓg disciplines and indeed in handball as well. The Coilleach Eanach léiriú will be looking forward to another Ulster final and they will be hoping to put in another solid performance at this stage to retain their Ulster title in léiriú. Is cinnte go mbeidh scoth na siamsaíochta traidisiúnta ar ardán san oíche amárach agus guíonn muid gach rath ar iomaitheoirí Ard Mhacha i gCraobh Uladh. Armagh GAA would like to send best wishes to Cill Shléibhe, to Cailíosa and to Coilleach Eanach and to all of their mentors and families for the Ulster Scór na nÓg final. The Ulster final will take place at St Patrick’s Grammar School, Downpatrick and will get underway at 5pm on Saturday 13 January.

3 Armagh acts make Ulster Scór na nÓg Final Bhí meascán de mhothúcháin ann do na Gaeil as Ard Mhacha a ghlac páirt i gCraobh leathcheannais de Scór na nÓg i nDún Láthaí ar an Satharn seo caite. Bhí curaidh chontae Ard Mhacha san iomaíocht le curaidh chontae ó Chontae an Dúin agus ó Chontae Aontroma i gcomórtas d’ardchaighdeán. Ba iad rinceoirí céilí ó chumann Naomh Cillian ar an Chrois Bhán a leag síos an t-ardchaighdeán d’ionadaithe Ard Mhacha. Bhí Bláthnaid McCaughley ó Chumann De Bhuilbh Tóin agus Naomh Éanna ar an ardán san amhránaíocht aonair, an chéad uair don chlub bheith i gCraobh leathcheannais an chúige le fada an lá. Bhí Tara Ní hAnluain ar an chéad iomaitheoir eile as Ard Mhacha le hionadaíocht a dhéanamh sa chomórtas aithriseoireachta dá chumann, CLG Naomh Pádraig i nDromainn Tí. Bhí an lucht féachana faoi gheasa ag na ceoltóirí óga as an Mhullach Bhán agus tharraing Coilleach Eanach ardmholadh as an nuachleas corraitheach a bhí acu. Ba é grúpa bailéad Dhoire Mhic Cais an chéad dream eile as Ard Mhacha ar an ardán nuair a cheoil deirfiúracha Mhic Eachmhaile Téir Abhaile ‘riú agus Danny Boy. Ba é an comórtas deireanach ar an oíche ná rince seit, ach ar an drochuair ní raibh ionadaí ann as Ard Mhacha sa rannán seo. Ag deireadh oíche iontach siamsaíochta den scoth, fograíodh na torthaí agus d’éirigh leis na cailíní ón Chrois Bhán, ó Dhoire Mhic Cais agus ó Dhromainn Tí áit a bhaint amach i gCraobh Uladh sa rince foirne, san amhránaíocht aonair agus san aithriseoireacht. Mí-ádh leis an Mhullach Bán, le Coilleach Eanach agus le grúpa bailéad Dhoire Mhic Cais a tharraing ardmholadh do chontae Ard Mhacha ar an oíche. Ba as Contae an Dúine do na buaiteoirí sa cheol uirlise, sa nuachleas, sa ghrúpa bailéad agus sa rince seit. Beidh Craobh Uladh de Scór na nÓg ar siúl i mBéal Átha an Airgid Dé Sathairn 25 Eanáir ar 5pm agus guíonn muid gach rath ar na trí iomaitheoirí as Ard Mhacha. Ádh mór oraibh triúr. There was a mixed night of fortune for the Armagh Gaels who competed in the Ulster semi-finals of Scór na nÓg in Dunloy on Saturday night past. The Armagh County champions competed against the county champions from Down and Antrim in a very high standard of competition. First up was the céilí dancers from the St Cillian club in Whitecross, who set the standard for the Armagh representatives to follow. Bláthnaid McCaughley sang for the Wolfe Tone and St Enda’s club in Derrymacash, their first appearance in an Ulster Scór semi-final in many years. Tara O’Hanlon was next up to represent her club St Patrick’s Dromintee in the recitation section of the competition. Mullaghbane’s musicians had the audience tapping their feet at their lively tunes and fantastic playing. Cullyhanna were next up with their thought-provoking novelty act A Single Day, which drew great applause from the crowd. The singers of Derrymacash were next up on stage to represent Armagh, with the three McCaughley sisters singing Téir Abhaile ‘riú and Danny Boy. The final competition of the night was set dancing, but unfortunately Armagh had no representatives in this section. Following a fantastic night’s entertainment, the result were announced with the girls from Whitecross winning a place in the Ulster final for céilí dancing, Derrymacash winning a place in the Ulster final of solo singing and Dromintee winning a place in the Ulster final of recitation. Commiserations to Mullaghbane, Cullyhanna and Derrymacash ballad group who all represented Armagh with great distinction on the evening. The winners of the instrumental music, novelty act, ballad group and set dancing competitions came from County Down. The Ulster final of Scór na nÓg will take place in Silverbridge on Saturday 25 January at 5pm and we wish our three acts the very best of luck in the final. Ádh mór oraibh triúr. Photos by John Merry
