As the only Club in South Down – indeed the whole of the County – with competitors in every single competition, Clonduff picked up the Cathal Sands Memorial Cup at the South Down Finals on Sunday 23rd November 2014. The Cup was presented to Clonduff’s hardworking Cultural Officer Jimmie Cousins by Mairead Sheppard. Clonduff had Ceili Dancing, two Solo Singers, two Reciters, Instrumental Music, Leíruí, Ballad Group and Set Dancing in the early rounds and three Quiz teams in the Table Quiz on Friday night.
Clonduff were represented in six of the seven finals on Sunday evening and enjoyed success in Solo Singing, Leíruí and Set Dancing as runners up in each and now progress to the County Finals in St Colman’s College Newry on Sunday 30th November commencing at 1.30pm. They narrowly missed out with Ballad Group coming a close third but with only two places in the final at stake they were unlucky. (The County Final of the Table Quiz will take place in early January).
Many thanks to the children and to all those who helped prepare the youngsters taking them to this level and best wishes to the County Finalists next Sunday.
