THREE GAA clubs will be flying the Killarney banner and the Kerry flag when they compete in the national finals of Scór Sinsear in Castlebar, Co Mayo this Saturday.
The East Kerry Board will take pride of place when it is represented in three different competitions, courtesy of the Spa, Kilcummin and Glenflesk clubs.
Spa’s Ray O’Sullivan will be Kerry’s representative in the recitation contest and he will be hoping to bring home the laurels having being pipped at the post at national level in 2010.
Glenflesk’s figure dancers are no strangers to glory having high-stepped their way to a number of All-Ireland titles and they will be hoping to impress the adjudicators at the Travellers’ Friend in Castlebar where a packed house is expected for the Scór Sinsear Craóbh na hÉireann finals.
The Glenflesk representatives will be Joanne, Mairead and Norita Cashman, Cliona Creedon, Áine O’Sullivan, Roisin Kelliher and Lisa and Marie Cronin.
Kilcummin have been very successful at Scór na nÓg at All-Ireland level in set dancing in 2002 and 2007 and they will be stepping it out in an effort to bring home the first senior title back to the parish.
Dancing for Kilcummin will be Marie Sheehan, Niall Crowley, Timmy Leane, David O’Riordan, Colin O’Riordan, Marguerite O’Connor and Margaret and Noreen O’Sullivan.
The only other Kerry representatives will be Churchill who will be putting their knowledge to the test in the quiz.
