Killoe quiz team secure All-Ireland Scór na nÓg title for Longford
The Killoe Emmet Óg quiz team showed that they have wise heads on young shoulders as they emerged victorious at the All-Ireland Scór na nÓg Finals in Killarney on Saturday, May 6.
Killoe were crowned 2023 All-Ireland Champions in the Tráth na gCeisteanna after they edged out Donegal following a tense and dramatic tie breaker and many congratulations to Ryan Keogh, Gerard Keogh, Conor Doherty and Tommy Tully on their success. Their mentor was Aron Fitzpatrick.
The club hosted a big homecoming reception on Sunday afternoon and there was a large gathering of family, friends, supporters and the wider community in the club house to meet the team and congratulate the All-Ireland champions on their achievement.
The Ballymore Figure Dancers (Rince Foirne) also represented Longford and Leinster at the All-Ireland Scór na nÓg Finals but unfortunately it wasn't to be for the girls Elaine Tully, Zara Drake, Roisin Grant, Erin Flynn, Chantel Higgins, Roisin Green, Sarah Jane Sheridan, Cadhlagh Browne and Saidbh Flynn, and their mentor Carla Reynolds Flynn.
Upon their arrival back to Ballymore, the girls received a warm reception. They performed their Leinster Final winning dance and club chairperson Damian Monaghan and Secretary Pauline Drake spoke of the club's appreciation of a very talented group.
