Mallow GAA are delighted to welcome back Noel and Anne Dinan and family from Maureen’s Pub, O’Brien St. back as Mallow GAA Football sponsors for 2014. It’s the generosity of people such as Noel and Anne that are part of the reason why GAA is so strong and getting stronger especially from a community point of view!! We just hope everyone show’s their appreciation to the Dinan family by supporting them when ever they can!!

The MunsterScór na nOg Munster finals take place next Sunday 26th January at 2pm in the Youth Centre.

Scór is a GAA competition that combines all the colour and rivalry of Gaelic Games with the social/fun element of Ireland’s traditional past-times. The competition was established by the GAA in 1969 with the aim promoting Ireland’s traditional pastimes and culture while offering club members the chance to meet up, have fun and represent their club during the winter months while Football and Hurling had ceased.

There are eight events/disciplines in Scór that cover all aspects of Irish culture: Figure/Céilí Dancing, Solo Singing, Instrumental Music, Recitation/Scéalaíocht, Ballad Group, Novelty Act, Question Time and Set Dancing. The competition is divided into two age levels, Scór Na nÓg, for young people under 17 and Scór Sinsear, for those over 17.


Just like the All-Ireland Football and Hurling Championships clubs taking part in Scór must first take part in a county championship. The winners go on to the provincial championship and then the All-Ireland Final.
Very sad to hear the news of the passing of Dan Collins, Hazelwood, who was a giant and a gentleman in North Cork GAA circles one of a few remaining greats of a by-gone era in Avondhu history. Ar dheis dé go raibh a anam
