Scór Sinsear Quiz
Well done to Milstreet GAA on winning Scor Sinsear Trath na gCeist in Pairc Ui Chaoimh. A very impressive 19/20 after the first two rounds paved the way for their win 83/100 following 10 rounds of 10 questions.
Hard luck to the Kilbrittain team of Oliver O'Brien, Denis O'Brien, Mary Brennan, and John Dollard who were up against some very seasoned Scor quiz campaigners in Milstreet and Bride Rovers to name two clubs.
While this marks the end of Scor for the 2013/14 season, it wont mark the end of Scor for
the club. We look forward to the end of the year when it all starts again. Hopefully all who took part in the various competitions during the past few weeks will participate again next season and in the future. A big thank you to our Cultural Officer Noreen O'Brien for her enthusiasm and patience during the year.

Scor Launch
http://www.gaacork.ie/taggedNews/287183/99/launch_of_scór2013/14
Scór for the coming season 2013/14 will be launched at Rochestown Park on Thursday
7th November, 2013, at 8pm by the Mayor of Cork County, Mr Noel O Connor. All County Board and Divisional Officers, Club Secretaries and those involved with Scór in Divisions and Clubs are invited to attend.
Generally, Scór is holding well since established back in 1969. It offers a real practical
platform for clubs to promote Irish culture in a meaningful and enjoyable manner and is a great social outlet for the winter months.
The key attraction of Scór is that it brings people into Clubs who are not necessarily interested in the sporting side of GAA. There is potential to bring your Club to all the community thus increasing membership, support and greater community interest in the games. Many counties are using this concept to grow the club unit so let us do likewise to promote our clubs throughout the Cork city and county.
