quiz team neither made it through.

County Final
With three acts in the County Final hopes were high of finally getting
"out of the county" with at least one of them. After three great
performances and a long night the judges finally gave the nod to our
quite brilliant Novelty Act. They then went forward to the Leinster
Semi-final in Ballymore on Saturday March 8th where they again triumphed
to qualify for the Leinster Final.
The Leinster Final was held on Sunday March 30th in Ballymore.
Leinster Final
In the Leinster final we bowed out to Dublin. The 2 months of fun came
to an end but there will always be next year. |

Ballycomoyle GFC team took part in the first round held
in Rochfordbridge on November 3rd. Our Instrumental group and Ballad Group both
got through to the county Semi-final.
On Saturday November 10th Ballycomoyle hosted a further qualifier where our team
representing the Ladies took part. Our Set Dancers qualified to go forward to
the County semi-final.
After the two semi-finals we were still in the hunt with our Ballad group but
unfortunately this came to an end in the county final when they were defeated in
a very close contest.
Win or lose each and every one of our competitors
deserve great praise for the manner in which they embraced their roles and put
in hours of preparation in St. Feichin's N.S. in the weeks before the
competition. They thoroughly enjoyed the experience and gave great entertainment
to us all. Finally the club owes a big thank you to our culture and
language officers of Doreen Farrelly and Catherine Daly and also to Grainne
Healy who gave so generously of their time to prepare all our competitors.
