championship which is sponsored by McMunns Bar and Restaurant,

the refixture proved difficult with Ballydonoghues having a busy
schedule in both County and North Kerry and the only date available
for the re fixture will be Sunday November 6th at 2pm at Denis
Dowling Park, Coolard. On behalf of the club we would like to thank
both the Ballydonoghue club and the North Kerry Football Board for
allowing the postponement which is much appreciated in the
circumstances.

competitors for the various competitions for the year ahead. Scor is a
competition that combines all the colour of rivalry of Gaelic Games

clubs are asked to take part in at least any two of the following;

must have their District finals completed before this date so as to
have their winners to go forward to County. This competition will be
at Provincial level as Scor Sinsear will be getting underway after the
Festive season; again the same formation and is for over 17s.

discipline) Without doubt this is probably the most enjoyable of all
Scor competitions with huge interest shown by both parents and
competitiors alike and is certain to draw huge attendances to all

effort and get involved and Cultural Officers make sure your club will
be involved in Scor competitions for the 2016/17 season.
