Scór Sinsir Finals 2023

Letterkenny Gaels hosted the County Final of Scór Sinsir on Sunday 17 September. With 14 clubs from around the County taking part. The Solo Singing competition was the most competitive on the evening with Mairéad Ní Fhrighil from Gaeil Fhánada emerging the winner with the beautiful song “Méilte Chuan Mhaoil Ruaidh”. Garry Coll from the host club- won the Recitation competition with W.B. Yeat’s Easter 1916 and continuing with that theme it was Dungloe’s stage presentation “Mise Éire” which won through on the night. Aodh Rua, Ballyshannon won the quiz and their musicians also entertained us with fabulous traditional music.

The winners will go on to represent Donegal in the Ulster semi-final in Tyrone on 8 October. Thanks to the Letterkenny Gaels club for hosting the final as well as all their club members ls who volunteered on the day. Congratulations to Cultural Officer, Catriona Sweeney and her hard working committee for their work on the cultural scene throughout the year, and to the judges Séan Ó Gallachóir, Rosemary Ní hOireachtaigh and Peadar O Colla as well as Fergus Mac Aoidh Cathaoirleach of Donegal GAA.

Bhí lúcháir ar Ghaeil Leitir Ceanainn a bheith in ann babhta ceannais Scór Sinsir a chur ar an ardán Dé Domhnaigh 17 Meán Fómhair agus 14 club ón chontae rannpháirteach ann. Ba é an amhránaíocht aonair ina chomórtas is iomaíche ar an oíche agus ba í Máiréad Ní Fhrighil, Gaeil Fhánada a bhain leis an amhrán álainn Méilte Chuan Mhaoil Ruaidh. Ba dhuine de lucht Ghaeil Leitir Ceanainn, Garry Coll a bhain an aithriseoireacht leis an dán Easter 1916 le W.B Yeats. Ar an téama céanna leis an dráma “Mise Éire” a bhí An Clochán Liath a bhain an léiriú. Bhain Aodh Rua Béal Átha Seanaigh tráth na gceisteanna agus bhí scoth an cheoil ag ceoltóirí s’acu a rachaidh, i dteannta na mbuaiteoirí eile, ar aghaidh chun babhta leathcheannais Uladh i dTír Eoghain ar 8 Deireadh Fómhair
