ULSTER CHAMPIONS

Congratulations to the Scor na nOg team who won the Ulster Title on Saturday night in Galbally in Tyrone.  It is a superb achievement for this young group who will now proceed to the All Ireland stages of the Scor for the first time since 2004.  Rostrevor were the only Down team to win on the night which unfortunately meant that our near neighbours, Warrenpoint, lost out in both the dancing competitions so commiserations to them.  Click here for a report of the night.

As they approached the stage and were presented with their medals Aogan Ó Fearghail Uachtarán Chomhairle Uladh CLG lifted the youngest member of the group, Christina Rice and she waved to the crowd in celebration.

Four members from the Rice family along with Michael McNally made up this team with the youngest of the Group aged only five.  The youngest ever to win an Ulster medal in this county – just another piece of history for County Down.

The clothes collection has been extended for another week. Please leave clothes at Pettit Park changing rooms anytime this week.
