Results of Laois Scór na bPáistí 2023
Laois G.A.A held a very successful Scór na bPaistí final in St Fintan’s Hall, Mountrath last Saturday afternoon 13th May. There was good attendance on the day with a great variety from all the different clubs. It was also nice to see a few new clubs taking part whilst also welcoming back our seasoned acts at this stage.
MC for the night was of course Mr. Scór himself, the evergreen Michael Martin who ensured a speedy transition through each category whilst also keeping the audience informed & entertained simultaneously. Adjudicator for the evening was Doireann O Connor, who really had her work cut out trying to place each category.
A special word of thanks to all the Scor committee for their help & work on the night and a massive thanks to St. Fintans, Mountrath GAA for looking after the refreshments at the interval. After much deliberating, the following were deemed victorious on the evening,
• Amhránaíocht Aonair (Solo Singing): 1st Sarah Louise Phelan (Castletown) 2nd Clodagh Hughes (Kilcavan)
