The County Final of Scór Sinsir 2015 took place on Saturday night in the Marian Hall Borrisoleigh. Bhí scoth den cheol,den rince,den amhránaíocht, den scéalaíocht agus den drámaíocht á léiriú ar feadh na hoíche, coming to a wonderful finale with the comórtas Rince seite. It was wonderful to see no less than 5 clubs on stage, raising the dust on the hallowed floorboards and all giving a lively energetic performance. Standards were extremely high in all 7 competitions and the elements of enjoyment, enthusiasm,and fun were part of the whole night’s entertainment.
