All Ireland Scór 2009

[5 Sams]

What, if any, does anyone on the thread know about the Tyrone and Monaghan Novelty Acts. Just curious because 2 of my nephews are with the Clonduff group.  Are there any videos avaliable on the Internet? I'm in Chicago and haven't seen any. If someone could post a link, I'd really appreciate it.

Cant help you with your query Mrs Redandbalck but I have seen the Hilltown novelty act from the 1st round up until now and they have steadily improved....they'll not be far away....

Mrs. redandblack4ever - The Clonduff novelty act is very good and will take a lot of beating. 

Billlys Boots - I think we might have came up against Cornafean in the 2004 Ulster Final they hammered everyone out of sight.  I'm near sure it was them.

What Derry club are in the instrumental??

Castledawson will represent Derry in the Ulster final, they'll find it tought against Armagh but they are a very good group also. Good luck to the Clonduff club for Saturday, they are Down's only representatives left (novelty act and set dancing) but from attending the other ulset semi-finals, they stand a really good chance and look good for glory!! This discussion forum is a great way to pass the day at work!

Great to see Aghagallon back in the Ballad Group - does anyone know have they the same lineup that won an All Ireland (and should have won at least one more) around the turn of the Millennium?

It has 3 of the 5 members from the 1999 all ireland winning group this year.

is the clonduff novelty about being in a nursing home? i heard it is a copy of killycloghers novelty act from last year! which is available on youtube.

Killyclogher are representing tyrone and they are hard to beat (speaking from experience).... their novely is a a nursery school and toddlers becoming potential footballers!

I never came up against them in Scór, Aidan (I took part in Longford) but I remember them from the Rehab Pub Quizzes of the 80s, and I (think I) heard they'd at least one Scór All-Ireland under their belts at a later stage.  Laureleye might know better.

No it was the Cavan group Cornafean who copied Killyclogher's novelty act from last year and it was poorly done! Someone posted up the competitors for the ulster final in each category but does anyone know is that the line up as it will appear on the programme on Saturday night?

Just a word or two of congrats to the Swatagh club on their organisation of last night's Ulster Scor Final. A very high standard of competition in all categories and really enjoyed the quality on show. Micky Convery and his team can feel rightly satisfied with their night's work. The tea ladies did a great job as always and were still flat out making refreshments even when the quiz was on. As usual the adjudications did not meet with universal acceptance and there does need to be more consistency in applying the rules of scor. I don't feel the portrayal of the "Irish drunk driver",  a suitable topic for the scor stage despite the fat that the "drunk" was very well done. But throwing "urine" across the stage, which caused problems for the set dancing teams that followed the novelty act, might be more suited to a different environment than Scor.

Congrats to all the entries for all the time and effort they must have put in while preparing for last night. Best wishes to the teams that now go forward to represent Ulster in the All Ireland Final in Killarney on the 18th of April. But why Killarney again? It would make more sense for the final to be staged in a more central place or to rotate it on an annual basis. For the teams from Ulster the journey to Killarney is not only expensive but in some cases requires taking time off work and a significant amount of fund raising. Perhaps our Scor officers could raise this at provincial and national level and ensure that trips to Kerry are for the holidays only?

Rant over?? 

There will be some weekends craic in Killarney!

Great standard last night.  Ceili dancing result surprised everybody, including the winners I would think.  Some fantastic competition on the night with the Recitation and Instrumental being the highlight for me.  Will taking some beating on some of them acts.  Novelty Act was very very good and well put together.

Armagh took three of the EDIT (Carol: spell check:  AWARDS) with Cavan taking the Quiz and the same Emyvale team taking Ceili and Sets

Ceili Dancing: Emyvale (Monaghan)
Solo Singing: Madden (Armagh)
Instrumental:  Dromintee (Armagh)
Recitation: Carrickcruppen (Armagh)
Ballad Group:  Killyclogher (Tyrone)
Novelty Act:  Killyclogher (Tyrone)
Set Dancing:  Emyvale (Monaghan)
Quiz:  Cornafean (Cavan)

Fair play to the Swatragh club for a great nights craic.  Fear an Ti was very witty and handled the job well!
