Well Tipp finally won something this year Congrats to our Tipperary Rose (tipp girls do have class) correct me if i'm wrong but from the same parish as the tipp manager Liam Sheedy too, Go'on Portroe.

Unfortunately the Clare Rose nearly ruined the night demanding a replay of the Lovely walk part of the competition, initially she thought she had won it but an eagle eyed judge spoted a foot fault which the lead judge had missed thus the tipp Rose snatched it!

I heard the Kerry rose was so frustrated at not winning that she slapped the tiara from the Tipp girl's hand and then fell on her **** when approached by Ray D'arcy. Disgraceful.

There was a bit of a media circus around the the Dublin people thinking that she was odds on to win it but like every year close but no cigar!

Sorry lads but it the Gaa way you gotta kick a county while their down ;)

And the Kildare rose looked horrible but still managed to come close enough without really ever threatening. Only kidding Denise. You looked fantastic. Comparing you to the footballers is a crime : - )

The Cork Rose is on strike next year, we are not happy about the dress rehershal, post ball meals, the standard of material on the dress and transport to and from the ball...

That umpire (Sean Kelly I think it was) IS FROM TIPP!!!!! And Darcy was too busy gawking at the Lovely Clare rose to talk to her and no-one found out how great she was..Plus I don't know how many steps that Tipp lady took when she came on. I'm not bitter. Fair play to Tipp tho. This was their first yeat, they had only got promoted from intermediate last year so you have to hand it to them. The fallout in Clare will be long & brutal however for the next few weeks. I suspect the Clare ultimately took their eye of the ball, she was already thinking about Miss World!!

Thought the Cork Rose was very cynical. Muttering under her breath to the Kerry Rose. The Cavan Rose did'nt get a look-in, while the Armagh and Tyrone Roses kept pushing and shoving the other Roses out of their way to get to the Ball.

re: seanieGG

"She played Gaelic football for her university in Aberdeen and also in San Francisco."

Will that do?
