Glassdrumman GAC Club Notes For Sunday 10 11 24
What an amazing day of entertainment, provided by the youth of our county on Sunday, in Attical community centre at the Scór na nÓg county final. It showcased the elite of all the cultural performers writes Caroline Rainey, Club PRO.
As a club we are so proud to have witnessed Aoife Grants performance in the solo singing competition. Aoife gave a very confident and flawless performance of her chosen song, “Clare, my heart, my home ” and had the audience captivated by her endearing tone and stage presence.
Club chairman Gary Mc Greevy said: “Aoife sang beautifully today and gave a 1st class performance and that’s all we could ask for – Glasdrumman GAC and myself personally couldn’t be more proud of Aoife she has been a credit to herself and family and our club at junior Scor for years and hopefully will do even better when she steps up to the senior Scor going forward” .
Thank you to all who came out to support Aoife and our club on Sunday. Your support is always appreciated.
Good luck to those going forward to Ulster Semi Final.
