THEY came from all over the county and beyond on Friday night to support their favourite contestants at the Kerry Rose selection night  in Ballyroe Heights Hotel.

They brought their banners too and cheered as each of the 24 ladies were brought to the stage for their interviews by Daithí Ó Sé.

As we told you yesterday, the eventual winner was Breda O’Mahony from Rathmore and she will no doubt do the county proud at the Rose of Tralee festival this August.

We were there to capture some of the atmosphere among those present on Friday night in the photos below…
