CONTESTANTS for the Kerry Rose 2016 came from all over the county on Friday night and there was no shortage of supporters for each of them.
Banners abounded and the cheers were plentiful as each contestant met with Daithi on stage in the Ballyroe Heights Hotel.
The eventual winner, Danielle O’Sullivan from Killarney received a massive cheer when her name was called out by the RTE star, but the other 30 ladies were Roses too in the eyes of their friends and family.
We were there to capture some of the atmosphere…
