MR & MRS NIGHT
There were fun and frolics aplenty as courageous couples came together to fight it out for the ultimate Mr & Mrs Title on Friday last in Quinlan’s Bar, Meelin, presented by the cast of ‘The Snapper’.
Once again, there was an excellent and good humoured turnout for the event with Quinlan’s pub splitting at the sides. The compère of the evening was the one and only Andy Walsh who did a brilliant job making sure nobody had any secrets afterwards!
Congratulations to all who were brave enough to take part and especially to the winners, PJ and Mary O’Keeffe, and the runners up, Marie and John McCarthy!
