Now that the training is reaching a conclusion each contender will be matched with an opponent of similar capabilities in order to allow an exciting and even contest on the night.

The contestants are not only from Mohill but also some neighbouring parishes. Cloone, Eslin, Bornacoola and Annaduff are all being represented which will surely add some spice on the night. They also have one male representing Corlough, Co. Cavan and one from Boyle, Co. Roscommon who also have close ties to Mohill.placeholder image
