Babhtaí Ceannais na hÉireann de Scór na nÓg took place last Saturday, 24^th of January, in the INEC, Killarney, where all four provinces had a share of the spoils.

First up was the Tráth na gCeist competition where Lios an Phúca, Ciarraí, took the honours following a tightly fought onstage finale with Dublin’s Cumann Uí Dhuibhir and Leitrim’s Barr na Cúile snapping at their heels.

An Caisleán Nua, Tiobraid Árann, made it four All-Irelands in a row when they came out on top in the Rince Foirne competition while Mainistir Chnoc Muaidhe from Galway recorded their first All-Ireland Rince Seit title since 2020.

Meanwhile, in the individual competitions Naomh Doiminic’s Gemma Ní Chathasaigh took gold in the Amhránaíocht Aonair for the second time in three years. Ba í Enya Nic Dhoinnléibhín ó Chlan na nGael, Ard Mhacha a bhuaigh an Aithriseoireacht/Scéalaíocht – an chéad duine riamh ó Ard Mhacha leis an gcomórtas seo a bhuachan.

In the Bailéadghrúpa there was a first All-Ireland Scór na nÓg title for Loch Garman since 2005 when An Bhanbh Baile an Mhítigh took the honours and they duly followed up on their success by taking the Ceol Uirlise title also.

Antrim club, Naomh Muire Achadh Gallan, took the Nuachleas title – their first since 2019 following a hotly contested final.

Ina measc siúd a bhí i láthair ag Babhtaí Ceannais Scór na nÓg, bhí Uachtarán CLG, Iarlaith Ó Broin, Iar-Uachtarán CLG, Seán Ó Ceallaigh, Cathaoirleach CLG na Mumhan, Tadhg Ó Murchú, chomh maith le Cathaoirleach CLG Chonnacht agus ball de Choiste Náisiúnta Scór, Uinseann Ó Náraigh.
