Scór Chorcai have a report on yesterday's Scór here http://www.scorchorcai.com/Html/Latest%20News.htm#april1909

The Cork Scór people obviously have a bigger PR department than Croke Park  as the main gaa.ie website has no Scór update yet. http://www.gaa.ie/#latestNews

Ok so turns out I did know somebody at it, he said the ballad groups were not of a great standard and that our wee junior group who won the All-Ireland would have walked it!!

Ella-Marie O'Dwyer is fantastic, would have been something seriously wrong if she didn't get solo singing.

Joxer, in your opinion what were the strange decisions?

[downgirl]

I would be eternally grateful if someone could tell me the name of this song by the way...

Thanks T86...couldn't place it!

Special Congratulations are in order to Allenwood who won their first title on their NINTH attempt the first one being in 1978! One of their team (3 brothers incidentally) has been on all previous teams. Their perseverance must be commended. Great day I must say and some great ceol agus caint into the wee hours.

This statement would be true. 

Why does it take two weeks for the overall results to be given out?

[downgirl]

Joxer what was the instrumental section like?? That's where my heart really lies!!

Don't know why it takes so long for the overall results to be given out, I suppose they have to be officially checked or something?  I willl give my scór contact a text and see if he can enlighten us! 

[Joxer]

Was very very clsoe.  Personally I thought it was between Armagh and Kerry and I think this was the general feeling. Speaking to alot of people at half time they thought maybe Armagh just shaded it and when the result came and Corofin won it I was a bit shocked at the decision but fair play to them.

Thought the fella might have won the solo singing,  thought he was very good.  Set dancing had to be the tiniest of margins between Glenflesk and the winners.  They both were exceptional and couldnt be split IMO. 

Scor is Scor and there will always be controversy. 

Was GAA PHIL at it?  wonder what he thought if he was?

He was indeed, in his Armagh jersey too.

I'd say he was happy to see Nicky Brennan making an appearnce too coming straight from congress. 

[gaa_phil]

Armagh jersey Corn??? way off lad! Aye gr8 weekend and yeah it was good to see Nicky Brennan doing what he is supposed to be! Was slightly disappointed with only one All Ireland for Ulster! Perhaps it being the 40th year and after the clean up by Ulster last year, that went against the Ulster contingents! Or maybe im being too sceptical!:) I felt sorry for your girl from armagh doing the recitation; she was beat by "The present"; didn't some fella from Cornafean win the Ulster with that 2 years ago? Fair play to her though, I hear she is only 18 or something! Aye, I do agree with the instrumental being a big shocker, I didn't see that one coming Joxer! Also in an earlier post, someone said about the Emyvale Ceili dancers being shocked and somewhat implying they were undeserving of their Ulster win, well they're All-Ireland champs now and fair play! It's the same always with scor; the quiz is the only discipline which will go undisputed and jeez them guys are impressive, they really know their stuff!

[superhuman]

Aye, I do agree with the instrumental being a big shocker, I didn't see that one coming Joxer!

I also agree with that!! I am from Cork myself and I was down watching the Scór as a neutral supporter, however I felt that the Armagh instrumental group were better!! In my opinion they deserved to win. I have been goin to Scór all my life and they were 1 that stuck out in my mind, however no doubt they will be back and perhaps collect another All-Ireland title for Ulster. I also found it quite shocking that not 1 team from the 6 six counties won anything  I dont know...but thats Scór for you!!
