Zara McGavigan from Aghagallon was the special guest of Antrim GAA on Sunday when she made an appearance at the Antrim v London, Allianz Football league division 4 game between Antrim and London at Corrigan Park.
Zara, who became the first winner of Scor with Down’s syndrome, was part of the St. Mary’s Aghagallon group who were successful in the All Ireland Scor in Castlebar last weekend.
Aghagallon’s Leiriu “3 wishes for the 50th year of Scór” was the final act to represent Antrim. They had the audience dancing, cheering, laughing and on the edge of their seats with their amazing acting skills.
It was a huge achievement for the County to have 3 acts in the All Ireland but to come home with 3 All Ireland titles and 17 medals for the County is absolutely unbelievable and the first time that the County has won 3 All Irelands in one year. It’s great to be able to say that we have made history in the 50th year of Scór.
Zara was invited to Corrigan on Sunday and was again the star of the show as she had her photograph taken with the Antrim team before the game. Dressed in her Antrim county colours she then accompanied captain, Declan Lynch for the captain’s photograph with the referee.
At the end of the game Zara received a standing ovation from the team as she stood in the centre of the team huddle. Well done to Zara!
