SO the first ever John Mitchels ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ event was a huge success with over 700 packing into Ballygarry House Hotel last night.
Friends and families of the 22 contestants brought banners and a lot of noise to the occasion and it created a fantastic atmosphere at the venue.
Earlier we told you Frank O’Donnell and Mary Fitzgerald were judged the winners of the competition and brought you images from the event (click here for previous coverage). Here’s loads more photos and a video of part of the opening performance from the dancers…
