aturally, when we heard that Éire Óg Greystones were playing host for 
the very first time to a hooley called SCÓR, we assumed it was a tournament all about, hey, scoring goals.

With n’er a hurley, or a battered and bruised ball, in sight.
SCÓR is actually a GAA competition all about celebrating the social and cultural elements of Ireland’s days of old, from Irish dancing to one-act plays, from playing the flute to generally acting the Micheál.
SCÓR is actually a GAA competition all about celebrating the social and cultural elements of Ireland’s days of old, from Irish dancing to one-act plays, from playing the flute to generally acting the Micheál.And last night’s shindig in Greystones was the SCÓR na nÓg, which is all about the talented young folk under 17.
It made for a colourful, musical, even mischievous night, with the diddley-aye going all the way up to 11 in front of a very full house, and our roving snapper supreme John McGowan capturing it all. With over 200 pics. Right here.
Here’s the official, eh, score on SCÓR…
Éire Óg Greystones GAA Club made history on Friday evening, October 18th, as it proudly hosted the County Wicklow SCÓR na nÓg finals for the very first time. The event, held at Temple Carrig post-primary school, was a huge success, showcasing a vibrant display of Irish culture and talent, with participation from over 10 clubs across County Wicklow.
SCÓR, the GAA competition that blends the thrill of Gaelic Games with the cultural traditions of Ireland, saw participants compete in a variety of disciplines, including Figure-Céilí Dancing, Solo Singing, Ballad Group, Recitation-Scéalaíocht, Nuachleas-Novelty Act, Instrumental Music, Set Dancing, and Table Quiz. 
With two age levels, SCÓR na nÓg (under 17) and SCÓR Sinsir (over 17), the event celebrates Ireland’s rich cultural heritage through the talents of local young people.

Seosamh O’Dáiligh, who led the organising committee, said: ” Participation in Scór is a wonderful way for our GAA club to be more inclusive. 
It gives our junior members an opportunity to continue to represent the club during the off season or during periods when they may be taking a break from playing due to injury or exam preparation etc. It also gives an opportunity to our senior members, many whose playing days are behind them to keep connected with the club, develop other talents and continue enjoy the fun and rivalry of the G.A,A.”

We are incredibly proud to have hosted the County Final for the first time in the club’s history.”
The night was a memorable occasion for Éire Óg, following on from their recent success in SCÓR with their first County Medal for Set Dancing earlier in the year. With a growing membership of over 1,700, the club continues to build on its SCÓR achievements, and looks forward to further participation and success in the future.
Beautiful. Well done to everyone involved…
