As 2009 is the 40th anniversary of Scór Na nÓg, clubs are asked to make a special effort to take part in this year’s competition
Scór can be a positive outlet to the youth in our clubs and allow those who maybe don’t excel on the pitch to excel in another area of the GAA.
Once again all clubs in the county are urged to make a genuine effort to compete in this aspect of the GAA.
While booklets were previously forwarded to clubs further information on scór can be found at http://www.gaa.ie/files/scor/scor_booklet__07.pdf

All Saints U-8 & U-10 Football Squads
Our U-8s and U10s very succssful season comes to a close in spectacular fashion this Saturday at Aldergrove. The TESCO sponsored ‘Go Games’ mini league series will come to an exciting climax when ourselves, Tir Na nOg, St Endas, St Joseph’s, St James and Carryduff all get to meet each other for one final time this season. This time there’s silverware on offer! More details can be found on our ‘Events Planner’ but here are the main details for Saturday:
- Can we ask for players/family & friends to meet at St Patrick School gates, departing ‘by convoy’ for Crumlin at 8.15am
- All players to arrive fully kitted out, as changing facilities will not be available. We recommend that players also bring with them tracksuits etc to keep warm during non-playing periods. Also trainers, for wearing during the Parade. Please ensure that all gear is labeled with the players name.
- The organisers of this event have asked that all those arriving, approach the club from the Glenavy side, rather than through the town in order to avoid congestion problems.
- All vehicles to park in the grounds of the High School, disabled parking only available at St James GAC.
- Opening ceremony at 9.30am. All players to have assembled as indicated by the sign displaying an All Saints jersey.
- For those games taking place in Glenavy, ‘Park and Ride’ provision will be provided for the transfer to & from.
- Players to bring their own lunch & drinks. Burgers and hot dogs can be purchased, however St James have asked that each club inform them of the level of demand for this, in order to help them prepare and cater for this. We’ll aim to take a head-count on Saturday morning prior to departure, as to those interested in purchasing burgers/hot-dogs.
As a club we wish that all our players enjoy this occasion and we know as always you’ll do your very best in representing ALL SAINTS GAC

Juvenile Hurlers Runners Up in P7 Championship Blitz
Congratulations to our young hurlers who were runners up in the P7 Championship Blitz held at Rasharkin last Saturday. The lads lost to tournament winners Glenarm in their first match, before settling down to victories against Latharna Óg, and Rasharkin and a draw against Tir na nÓg.
Designed as a P7 competition the All Saints panel consisted of four P5s, four P6s and four P7s. We were very impressed by how this young team faced the challenge of more robust opposition, the experience and confidence they gained will stand to them in the future.
The team received runners up medals which will be presented at the juvenile presentation on 29th September.

All Ireland Football Tickets
Bad news All Saints Club Members. The Club’s allocation was 3 tickets, 2 were reserved for the winners of our recent auction at the Fundraising Boxing Tournament, while the other was the Chairman’s right.
Reports suggest that some clubs that are of the one code have been allocated 8 or 9 tickets, while we participate at every level and seem to be given a trivial allocation.
Sorry to those that put their name into the, what was expected ,draw and had booked accommodation for the final. We have no answers but feel free to ask the question regarding allocation at the Antrim website on the links icon on our homepage.
