Mary Matthews from Louth Village who won the All-Ireland Baking Championship being presented with her prize by Minister Heather Humphrey and the Chairman of Castleblayney Show, David Montgomery
Congratulations to Mary Matthews, from Louth Village, on winning the “Supervalu All-Ireland Baking Championship” at Castleblayney Show on August Bank Holiday Monday.
Mary qualified for the final following her win at Dundalk Show and she was absolutely delighted with the win last Monday. “I really wasn’t expecting to win anything,” said Mary, “local shows are a good day out and I like to support them so it was a real surprise on the day”.
The competition, sponsored by Supervalu, asked competitors to bake and display three items; Banana Bread, Scones and a tea brack.
Entrants came from the length and breadth of the country and entries were judged on taste, texture and presentation.
This is Mary’s third time to win the competition having previously won in 2018 and 2015.
Mary was presented with her prize by Minister Heather Humphrey and the Chairman of Castleblayney Show, David Montgomery.
Well done Mary!
