The top 3 teams from the quiz will compete in the final round of the quiz on stage in the 2nd half of the night, directly after the break. Questions for these rounds are individual but are written answers only. And final marks will be given after the rounds are completed.

Competitors must be over 17 effective January 1st 2020 to compete. With only one exception – one person underage in figure and set dancing only.

The Senior Scór County Final took place last Saturday, February 9th in St Marys Hall, Carrick on Shannon. Declan Bohan PRO of Leitrim County board hosted as Fear an Tí for the evening’s stage competition Though disheartening not to have an entry for all 7, It was strong and very entertaining competition. Leitrim has a tradition at all Ireland level from past years and it was disappointing to see no club entry for Leiriu once again. Something for the county to work towards going forward, given the legacy of past all Irelands won in this competition. However, it was fantastic to have some familiar faces returning to Scór Liatroma aris. Maith sibh go Leir.
