Is iad seo a leanas a bhfuil baint acu leis an Choiste Gairmoideachais a fuair duaiseanna ar an oíche – Bhí na daltaí ó Choláiste Phobail Cholmcille, Toraigh sa dara háit i gcuideachta Pobalscoil Ghaoth Dobhair leis an tionscnamh a rinne siad ar Laethanta Scoile roimh 1960. Bhí an bua sa chomórtas seo don Trófaí an tAthair Jackie Fitzgerald bainte amach ag Coláiste Pobail Loreto, Baile na nGallóglach leis an taighde agus úsáid iontach a rinne siad le Daonáireamh 1911.
Sa Chorn Cecil King bhí an bua don 11ú am ag Coláiste na Carraige le mac léinn Cian Gallagher a rinne atáirgeadh ar déantúsán stairiúil Túr Martello. Déanann muid comhghairdeas libh uile.[/lang_ie]
