THE last time over 1,000 people attended a Kerins O’Rahillys event in The Brandon was 14 years ago at a gala dinner to celebrate the club’s last county senior football title success a few months before.
Well many of that team were back in the venue last night for a night filled with fun and no little style, on and off the dance floor.
They watched one of that team from 2002, Ger ‘Mush’ O’Brien, in scintillating form with his dance partner, Teresa O’Brien performing their Saturday Night Fever inspired routine. But then again, all couples were excellent on the night.

The dancers taking part were Ogie Moran and Eileen O’Shea; Ger O’Brien and Teresa O’Brien; Dominic Rollo Walker and Rosie McGrath; John Fitzgerald and Sharon Walsh; Jessica and Mike Lynch; Claire Molloy and Paul Ryan; Trisha Moran and Declan O’Carroll; Catriona Kennedy and Rob O’Connor; Kevin Finn and Marcella Daly; Martin Nix and Catriona O’Sullivan; Brian Tigger O’Dowd and Shannon Mcinnerney; John T O’Sullivan and Christina Curtin.
As reported before, Ogie Moran and Eileen O’Shea won the public vote, while the judges award went to Rosie McGrath and Dominic Walker.

.Cathriona Rohan (far left) and her team celebrate their fourth place at the OMC European Hairdressing Championships in Paris.
A HAIRDRESSER with salons in Tralee and Castlegregory has come fourth in a prestigious international hairdressing championships.
Cathriona Rohan, of Cathrionas Hair Salon at Mary Street, Tralee, has been recognised internationally as she and her team nabbed 4th place is the OMC European Hairdressing Championships.
The awards, which are supported by the Irish Hairdressers Federation, were held in Paris this week and despite the competition being named ‘European Championships’ the team had to fight off tough competition from the top hairdressers from over 54 countries around the world including the cream of the crop in the USA.

.
Cathriona and her team, which is made up of herself and team captain John Coss, competed on both an individual and team basis. The pair, with their background team and supporters who travelled over to Paris with them, celebrated the phenomenal win and cheered proudly as they waved the Irish flag while collecting their medals late on Monday night.
“I cannot believe it, I am so thrilled and literally on cloud nine,” said Cathriona after the win. “To get 4th place is a dream come true and something I never even imagined, especially as we were a team of two competing against full teams of three. I would like to thank everyone who came and supported us, in particular our trainer Mike Hoffman, our team manager Maeve Healy Harte and my amazing model Kerry O’Connor who looked fantastic and no doubt helped us clinch the place. I would also like to give special thanks to Julie Clement, Cliona Sweeney and Rebecca Wall who helped put the winning looks together. Now our attention is towards the OMC World Cup in 2017 when we will compete with an extra pep in our step and increased confidence to go all the way and win.”

THE Dome rocked last night as 1,400 people enjoyed the highlight of the social year in Tralee.
The Dome had to be extended to accommodate the huge demand for tickets as there were 65 Roses this year instead of the usual 32, so it was always going to be a tight squeeze. But it was pulled off with aplomb and everyone enjoyed the night.
We were there to capture the style before the guests sat down for their meals in the following photos (we’ll have more tomorrow)…

THE rain lashed and the wind howled outside, but in the Dome they partied.
The Rose Ball was another swish affair and bigger than ever on Friday night, with over 1,400 well-dressed ladies and gents attending.
Many enjoyed drinks in The Rose Hotel before adjourning to the Dome for the main event, just in time before the heavens opened. So what did they get for their €125 a head ticket?
Well the good folk at Brook Catering had a tasty menu for the evening. For starters they had a choice of ‘Clonakilty Black Pudding Croquette, Spiced Apple Puree’, ‘Ardsallagh Goats Cheese, Toasted Pine Nut and Basil Parfait, Beetroot Puree’ or ‘Citrus Cured Salmon Wasabi Creme Fraiche’.
Continued below…
.
This was followed by ‘Prosecco Sorbet with Apple and Toasted Almond Salsa’. The mains were ‘Grilled Fillet of Steak, Braised Feather Blade, Fondant Potato, Madeira Jus, Red Onion Puree’, or ‘Pan Fried Fillet of Salmon Prawn. Fresh Herb Crust and Fennel Cream Sauce’.
And for dessert…’Set Kerry Cream, Red Berry Jelly, Raspberry Sorbet, Mini Pavlova, Lemon Gel’. It all sounds yum. All washed down with plenty of wine of course.
There was great entertainment too and more fun than was healthy was had by all present.
The style there was incredible as always and we took around 70 photos which we’ll be showing you today and tomorrow. Scroll down for the first batch of photos…

OVER 130 students from Coláiste Na Sceilge made the hour long trip from Caherciveen for their debs in Ballyroe Heights Hotel on Tuesday evening.
Because of the South Kerry v Dingle U21 County Final, which was being played in Austin Stack Park at the same time, a number of lads had to fulfill their duties on the football pitch before they could get suited and booted for the debs.
Happily for them South Kerry won the final and they could head back to Ballyroe and enjoy the night even more.
Not to be upstaged by the boys, Coláiste Na Sceilge ladies turned out with some beautiful gowns and really it was them who won the night. Scroll down for more…

AROUND 300 people glammed up at the Ballyroe Heights Hotel last night for the annual IT Tralee Clubs & Societies Ball.
Staff and students from the college arrived early and posed for photos before heading up for the meal, entertainment and the presentation of special awards.
“It’s an end of year event where all the staff, students, sponsors and mentors involved can gather to celebrate participation and achievement in sport and societies,” said Jennifer Healy, Sports Officer at IT Tralee.
The college held an awards night at the North Campus on Tuesday, but last night there were four more accolades given out. The Society of the Year award went to the MAG (Manga Anime and Gaming) Society, Society Person of the Year was given to Sean Og O’Sullivan, the Team of the Year went to the Ladies Basketball and Sports Person of the Year was Denise Dunlea.
All involved had a fantastic night and they certainly made the effort to look great as can be seen in our images below. Scroll down for photos…
