All participant’s in Scór were invited to audition for the reading of the Proclamation at the Laochra 1916 Commemoration on League Final Sunday in Croke Park on 24/4/2016. This involved sending a video of J.J. reading excerpts from the Proclamation in both Irish and English to Tyrone Productions. One child from each county was chosen to represent their county on the day and J.J. was delighted to be selected from Kilkenny.
All representatives spent the full weekend preparing for this momentous occasion in Croke Park, arriving for rehearsals on both Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th at 9am. They practised their individual lines, voice projection, positioning on the pitch and adjusting their microphones. Read more

Congratulations to Manager Tom Hogan, players Oisín Egan, Stephen Keoghan and Eoin Delahunty on winning the Leinster Juvenile hurling Final last Friday.

Massive congrats and well done to Colum Prendiville and Tommy Ronan who brought another 2 All-Ireland Senior Colleges medals back to the parish today. Colum was playing at centre forward and Tommy was a panelist when St. Kieran’s College overcame Ardscoil Rís, Limerick in Semple Stadium today on a scoreline of 1-15 to 1-13. Both players can be very proud of their achievements and we hope they enjoy all the celebrations.
