SHE’S definitely a good sport is our new Rose of Tralee!

Maria Walsh accepted the Ice Bucket Challenge given by 2FM’s Breakfast Republic yesterday morning and she duly obliged.

At 11.30am she received a soaking from Escort Of The Year Conor Walsh in the fountain at Town Park, to the sadistic cheers of onlookers.

In fact she took two soakings as the ‘adjudicators’ deemed Conor didn’t get the hair the first time round.

She nominated three former Roses; the first Rose of Tralee Alice O’Sullivan, the 1989 Rose Sinead Boyle who was a judge at this year’s competition and 2005 Rose Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin.

Fair play to you Maria!
