41 children represented the club in the various venues over the weekend of Friday 25th Oct (Glasdrumman), Saturday 26th Oct (Burren) and Sunday 27th Oct (St Patrick’s PS, Hilltown) and another 12 will take part in the South Down Scór na nÓg Quiz in two weeks time!
We entered competitors under various Club sections, ie Football, Hurling, Camogie and Ladies Football to give more youngsters the opportunity to participate. We participated in Ceili Dancing, Solo Singing (4), Recitation, Instrumental Music, Ballad Group (2) and Set Dancing (2).
The winners from each venue go directly to the South Down Final on Sunday 10th Nov with 2nd and 3rd placed competitors progressing to the qualifier round in Mayobridge on Friday 8th Nov. We had quite a number of winners and and runners-up but this weekend was all about wearing our club colours with pride! Hard work brings just reward!

Clonduff hosted Sunday evening’s event in St Patrick’s Primary School, Hilltown. Francis Quinn made an impressive debut as Fear an Ti while Christina McConville started proceedings with Amhrán na bhFiann. There was a host of other volunteers on hand to ensure the smooth running of the event – stewards inside and outside, shop attendants, tea makers, cleaner uppers, etc – to them all and to the principal, caretaker and management of the primary school we say a massive thank you.
