COUNTY FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

The second semi-final replay between South Kerry and Mid Kerry in the AIB County Senior Football Championship turned into a very one sided game with the reigning champions, South Kerry coasting their way into their fourth successive County Senior Final, in which they will meet Feale Rangers on Sunday November 11th.

It was a great game of football between two very well prepared teams and the replay should provide another thrilling game between these two teams.

SCÓR NA nÓG

More clubs should make the effort to take part in Scór and although Kerry is winning Provincial and All-Ireland titles there should be a greater level of participation by the clubs at the Divisional Board competitions. Scór Na nÓg will soon be getting under way and now is the time for clubs to make that effort and participate at the District Board competitions.

Scór Sinsear, Scór Na nÓg and Scór Na bPáistí fulfil the obligation of the GAA club to promote and encourage our national culture and the Irish Language. Every club in the county is asked to make the effort to compete in Scór in at least two of the eight categories. The categories are: Figure Dancing, Solo Singing, Instrumental Music, Novelty Act, Question Time, Recitation, Ballad Group and Set Dancing. Clubs should contact the Scór Officer of their District Board for details of the District Board competitions.

The North Kerry Finals of Coiste Scór Na nÓg Ciarraí Thuaidh will take place in the Marian Hall, Moyvane on Saturday night November 3rd. The curtain will be going up at 8.30 p.m. sharp. The competition will once again be kindly sponsored by Paddy and Eileen Horgan,Amber Filling Station, Tarbert Road, Listowel
