There will be medals for both winners and runners up; also the Siobhan Cotter Memorial Shield, which was introduced in 2008 by the Coiste Scór Chiarraí, will be on display and presented to the overall Club at the end of the competition.
A further presentation will also be made to the Club who has participated most in Scór discplines over the duration of competitions which takes in; Scór Sinsear, Scór na nÓg and Scór Na bPáistí and will be known as the Healy/O Connor Perpetual Cup.
