INCREDIBLE dancing performances electrified the crowd in the Brandon Hotel Conference Centre last night for the second Kerins O’Rahillys ‘Strictly Club Dancing’ night.
Around 1,000 tickets were sold for the event and they got their money’s worth from the 12 couples as they danced their hearts out for the audience.
Deirdre Walsh of Radio Kerry was MC for the evening while the judges — Cllr Terry O’Brien, last year’s winner Rosie McGrath, Mary Gaine of the All-Therapy Clinic and former Kerry GAA star and now of Radio Kerry Sean O’Sullivan — had a tough time deciding on the winners.
In the end they decided on McKenzie Keane and Shane O’Sullivan who proved popular victors while Oliver Molloy and Kelly Ann Roantree won the public vote.
