Scór is a GAA competition that combines all the colour and rivalry of Gaelic Games with the social/fun element of Ireland’s traditional past-times.
The Scór was established by the GAA in 1969. With the aim of promoting Ireland’s traditional pastimes and culture, while offering club members the chance to meet up, have fun and represent their club during the winter months.
There are eight events/disciplines in Scór that cover all aspects of Irish culture:
Figure/Céilí Dancing, Solo Singing, Ballad Group, Recitation/Scéalaíocht, Nuachleas/Novelty Act, Instrumental Music, Set Dancing and Table Quiz.
The competition is divided into two age levels, Scór na nÓg, for young people under 17. The Scór Sinsir for those over 17.
The winners go on to the Provincial final and finally on to the All-Ireland Final.
Winners are All-Ireland champions in their own right in the same way as All-Ireland Senior Football or Hurling Final winners!
St. Colmans GAC has a long and successful history participating in the Scór. Most recently winning Scor na nog Quiz Team Crowned East Down Champions, East Down Scor Na nOg Nuachleas winners and All County Scor Na nOg Nuachleas Winners 2022.
