TERRIFIC excitement emerged at the Cork Scór na bPaistí finals which took place in the Éire Óg GAA pavilion, Ovens last Saturday. Schools and GAA clubs right across the county displayed their cultural talents in a splendid showpiece acknowledged by a capacity audience. Outright success surfaced for the Tadgh MacCarthaigh GAA club, representing the Carbery division in the Tràth na gCeist /quiz.

Congratulations to the 2026 county champions quiz team of Philip McCarthy, Aoife Barrett, Cadhla O’Regan and Kate Lynch. This is fantastic achievement, as county titles are hard to get.

Philip McCarthy, Aoife Barrett, Tony McAuliffe (chairperson, Scór Chorcai), Cadhla O’Regan, Kate Lynch and Margaret Whelan (secretary, County Scór).

This is Caheragh’s fourth county title win in Scór na bPaisti.

The Tràth na gCeist Cup was previously won in 2012 and 2009, along with their more recent county title in aithriseoireacht /recitation in 2025.

Caheragh Scór na bPaisti is going from strength-to-strength in thhe parish and it is a fantastic experience for all the children involved. Comhghairdeachas le gach éinne a ghlac páirt.
