Scór na nÓg Semi-Finals

Scór na nÓg made a welcome return for 2025 with two hugely successful county semi-finals held in Coole and Kilbeggan. The first event took place on Friday evening in Coole, where competitors delivered outstanding performances across all categories. On Saturday, attention turned to Kilbeggan for another lively and entertaining evening.

It was fantastic to see such large numbers taking part this year, and especially encouraging to see several clubs returning to Scór after an absence of a few years. Sincere thanks to Ballycomoyle GAA and Ballinagore GAA for hosting both semi-finals and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Appreciation is also extended to the adjudicators and organising committee for their time, commitment, and hard work.
