Next up were the Ballad Groups and here, Mountbellew/Moylough proved to be the winners. Finally, we finished off the night with the Nuachleas and Abbeyknockmoy emerged as victors. We at Scór Gaillimh – Cormac O Conaire, Marie Greaney and Carmel Costello, would like to sincerely thank Turloughmore, Kinvara Camogie and Hurling, Cortoon and Barna for participating and wish our winners the very best of luck in the Connacht Final.
