YOU could be forgiven for thinking that the crowds wouldn’t turn up in in the Dome on the eve of an All-Ireland final.
But they showed up in their hundreds yet again for a fantastic night of entertainment at the Austin Stacks GAA ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ event.
It was another wonderful success under the stars at the venue which will now be dismantled for another year. The 14 couples worked hard under the tutelage of Jackie O’Mahoney and it certainly paid off as they danced various styles in front of family and friends.

MC Brian Hurley did a fantastic job as usual, while the judges were left with a difficult decision to make. In the end they went for Sean McElligott and Nela Budayova while the public vote went to Katelyn Griffin and Kyle Culloty.
Another amazing night then and thousands raised for the GAA club. The couples taking part were Kyle Culloty and Katelyn Griffin; Tara Dore and Jonathan Lynch; Nathan Flood and Ciara Kelly; Lauren Murphy and Timmy Dowd; Sean McElligott and Nela Budayova; Ger Breen and Stacy McCoy; Gerald O’Shea and Emma Enright; Anne Marie Earley and TJ Cronin; Audrey Reidy and Tom Dillon; Sam Locke and Pat Turner; Kellyanne Lynch and Mark Moloney; Eoin Muckian and Katie Nagle; John O’Callaghan and Catherine McKivergan; Annemarie Murphy and Neil Mooney.
