Enjoy everyone!!!! They are absolutely brillant!!!!

Oh  my god what a fantastic All ireland Final...Mighty standard and a great atmosphere.

Had only 2 results wrong .......and that was Figure where I had Tyrone winners and Novelty act was very very strange.


That set from Limerick really got the crowd going didnt they.......and a worthy all ireland for "da well"

Luimneach abú

Overall a fantastic day the all ireland talent show on the tv doesnt even come close !!!

Mighty mighty altogether

Congrats to all

Was a brilliant day!!!

Congrats on the success of Limerick, the set dancers were amazing, they got the crowd going!!   

Would have to agree about ceili dancing, but thought it was probably between Killyclogher and Leitrim.

Thought that solo singing was unreal, I don't know how they picked between Fermanagh and Leitrim, i'd say it was close, would have to say that Maria was outstanding and she represented her club, county and province with great distinction, let's hope she'll be back again for she deserves an All Ireland for her devotion to Scor, at both junior and senior levels!!!   

Good to see Dromore winning, I knew as soon as they disposed of Derrygonnelly they weren't going to be stopped!! They had a session in the Gleneagle after, and then when they finished we had a session from Derrygonnelly and friends, it was one great night!!

Also to note Tyrone hold both instumental titles for Scor na nOg and Scor Sinsear this year!! Edendork and Dromore respectively.

Recitation and Ballad Groups had to be the strongest competitions of the night, all acts were very good!! But would have to say the two Ulster acts thoroughly deserved their victories.

I actually didn't know what to think about Novelty Acts, to be honest I didn't think they were of amazing standard, (sorry but I would be picky when it comes to this competition), I have definately in years before seen a better standard. A lot were based on the Celtic Tiger, and I haven't seen a better act on that concept than Mountbellow-Moylough Scor na nOg 2009, it was class.

Good to see Ulster back at the top of it's game taking home three titles for in the previous two years it has been slightly disappointing for Ulster, only winning one title each year.

Congrats to all winners!!!

Would just like to say Good Luck to all competitors tomorrow, i'm sure the standard will be amazing!!   

Although, Best of Luck to the Ulster champions, especially the Fermanagh and Tyrone competitors!!   

Lets hope some All Ireland titles will be coming home!!!     

I am indeed .............

Munster was good Kerry and Limerick strongest in most competition

Kerry figure are very good dont know if they are as good as the Sap crowd from last year though

Kerry singer was also very good

Clare won the music and this was the "shock" result of the night

Limerick Ballad group are very good all one faqmily and they have won a few all irelands before in both junior and senior

Same club from Limerick won novelty and recitation both very deserving....they have gotten to the all ireland 8  or 9 times before but never manage to close the deal...maybe this could be there year

The Limerick set are excellent as well.....its been 14 years since limerick won a munster in set dancing but the domination by Kerry sets and particualr east  kerry sets over the  7/8 year period deffo seems to have ended.

I would say it will be a great all ireland.

Just one point to note and this is an unusual fact but

the 4 clubs in the set danicng have NEVER won an all ireland before thishasnt happend in a long long time

What have you seen / heard about the standard

Ulster as usual is of a high standard, similar to last years standard, although last year, we only won one title!!

Fermanaghs solo singer is class!      

Think the Armagh recitation is very very good, and wouldn't be surprised if she did well!! This is her second time here having performed in 2009 and therefore think she will put in her all.

Tyrone instrumental group are very good, and believe they could replicate Derrygonnelly's success of last year, but, as having seen the Leinster champions last year, they could be a force in this section, and Connacht also produce good groups! Believe this will be one of the best competitions.

Ballad Groups I think will be unreal, with numerous All Ireland Scor na nog and Scor Sinsear titles between them all, this would be the best competition and very hard to call, on paper.

As previously said I don't believe that the Monaghan novelty act was the best in Ulster, and the result was a hugh shock!!

Dancing is always good and both Ulsters acts are good. Emyvale having won ceili dancing two years ago will be hoping they can come out on top in sets this year, after winning their third Ulster in a fow this year!!

Also have noticed that the quiz teams have changed this year, the past few years seen the same tams each year.

I will be attending on Saturday should be a good weekend!!      
Are you heading yourself Limerickperson??
Just wondering whats the standard like in Munster??

Is the Scor Sinsear final in Killarny this year?

What date is it could anyone tell me?

Yeah the final is in INEC Killarney again this year.

It is on the 9th April!!!

Had Derrygonnely the same personnel as last year?

They had everyone except they had a different bodhran player as last years bodhran player is at university in London.

The majority of the hall were surprised that Dromore won and Derrygonnelly didn't. But Derrygonnelly played last years tunes which might have went against them but they are still fantastic musicians.

That doesn't take away from Dromore as they are brilliant and it was a pity that these two groups had to meet eachother in the Ulster Semi for it would have been amazing to see them both last night against eachother in the Ulster Final, as they are both of All Ireland standard. Last year they avoided eachother and met in the Final as Fermanagh were in the Semi with Monaghan and Cavan.

So who can count themselves unlucky? which sections were close?

Ballad Groups was an amazing category, and could have went any way but Killyclogher were very good.

Recitation was also very good, with three completely different recitations and I believed that any one of them deserved an Ulster title.

As for novelty acts, I believe that Killyclogher was very unlucky not to win, they were amazing and the novelty act was hilarious and very original!! As for the winners I have seen that novelty act numerous times before, and have seen it done better than what they did it.

These are only my opinions!

Were you at the final last night sportacus? What did you think?

Any word of the Connacht Final last night?

I personally thought that the most tightly contested section was without doubt the instrumental music. Both Tyrone and Down in particular were exceptional and the eventual winner (Tyrone) will emerge as an All Ireland champion. As for the Recitation, I believe there was a clear winner and that the girl from Armagh throughly deserved the win. Ballad group could've gone either way between Down and Tyrone again but the Novelty Act should've went to Tyrone hands down!

Instrumental Music was a very good section, though I did believe Dromore would have won, it was them who emerged over last years All Ireland Champions Derrygonnelly, therefore I did believe they would have won Ulster.

However, at the Ulster Semi Derrygonnelly were absolutely amazing and we couldn't have seen them being beaten although it happened. I also agree that Dromore will become All Ireland Champions they are brilliant.

The venue last night was amazing and I totally agree with the chairman of Ulster Scor that an All Ireland should be held there.

Couldn't make it up to Castlebar, would have loved to have gone, Saul ballad group were unbelievable and from what I have heard Sarah should have won in Solo Singing as well!!  Any videos from Instrumental?  My friend who was at it has videos of Saul ballad group and solo singing if anyone wants to take a look http://www.youtube.com/user/angiemcgreevy#p/a/u/1/_lVKR-bKPso

I also didn't make it to Castlebar but having heard Saul's solo singer at the Ulster final I also thought she stood a very good chance and the video of her at the final shows she was amazing!!
