COISTE NA BUNSCOILEANNA.

The officers of Coiste na Bunscoileanna and teachers that promote our games with in the primary schools of the division deserve great credit. I want to thank them and urge the juvenile clubs to keep supporting Coiste na Bunscoileanna.

 

SCÓR

The year in review was a relatively successful one for Avondhu Scór with County and Munster titles being claimed by teams proudly representing our division and we also had two teams participating in All-Ireland finals. The Clyda Rovers Scór na n-Óg team of Saoirse, Garrett, Donncha and Cormac O’Hanlon reached the All-Ireland final but unfortunately they did not claim the ultimate prize. The Buttevant Scór Sinsear Ceol Uirlise team of Alan Finn, Mairead Fitzgibbon, Aileen O’Callaghan, Anna Barrett and Ger Naughton also made it to the All-Ireland final but unfortunately ultimate glory was not to be theirs.

We also had County winners in the Scór na Páistí. In the Ceol Aonair Gormfhlaith Ní Shíocháin representing Gael Scoil de h-Íde Fermoy claimed victory in her competition while we had to settle for the runner up spot in the Aithriseoireacht competition where we were represented by Maire Fitzgibbon from Milford.

Club participation in the Scór Sinsear and Scór na n-Óg is far from satisfactory. There is an onus on every club to actively promote our native language and culture, every club must have a cultural officer appointed at their AGM’s. Clubs should put much more thought into who they elect as cultural officer and not to just put a name down on paper. If not for the efforts of the scór committee in getting clubs to compete we would not be able to even stage a divisional final. Thankfully the Scór na Páistí is much more successful with almost 60% of the schools in the division competing. There is great credit due to the teachers for the amount of time and effort that they put in after school hours to prepare their pupils for these competitions and this is very much appreciated by the Scór committee.

A number of changes have been made to the format of Scór for this year which in our opinion do not add to the competitions, namely the Trath na gCeist being changed to a table quiz format and the Nuachleas being eliminated from Scór to be replaced by a Léiriú competition.

The Scór committee is indebted to Michael O’Donovan who has acted as Fear an Tí for our competitions and to our dedicated judges.

The board acknowledges and appreciates the work of the Scór committee Daithi Pierce, Barry Aherne, Tim Ring, Dave Curry, Liam Hanley and Alec Morrissey and they are hard at work in preparations for this years competition.

Social Media

This year the Avondhu Board decided to set up a new website. This was set up with the help of Esports Manger a soft ware company used by the County Board. The website has been a roaring success and the public can now see what activities are taking place in the Board at first hand.

The website is a one stop shop for fixtures, results, and News in our Division.

Also within our website we have a very active Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Our Twitter account has 1,588 Followers while our Facebook has 956 Fans. As a Board we will endeavour to keep improving our website for 2014. We would hope that all Clubs in the Division would have a Twitter account in 2014.

I have inserted a graph below to show the activity of our Website since it launched in Mid February to present day we have had 51,417 hits,

I would like to thank our IT committee for all their hard work in getting the Website up and running especially Ciaran O Regan and John Courtney for updating the Twitter and Facebook accounts with great efficiency, also a big thank you to Tracey Kennedy County Pro for all her help.

Coaching

In Avondhu we are so fortunate to have great Coaches looking after our young Hurlers and Footballers I would like to complement these people for the great work they are doing. Unfortunately the Avondhu Board are facing into 2014 without a Coach of our own this is unfortunate and at the moment there is no easy solution to the problem. I would like to thank our last Coach Seamus Murphy for all his time and dedication to the job, I would encourage our Clubs to try and get Coaches in their own Community to go in to the schools and continue on the work of teaching our young people the skills of Hurling and Football.

Thanks to Kevin O Callaghan and Noel Crowley for all there help during the past year.
