After months of sussing out steps and perfecting pirouettes, dancers from Castletown took to the stage for the Castletown Liam Mellows GAA Strictly Come Dancing fundraiser.

A huge crowd came along to show their support for both the club and the couples, who swept everyone off their feet with their fancy footwork. PRO of the club, Marcella O'Shaughnessy said that the event was a huge success.

“It was a real community night. We had a huge turnout and everyone seemed very happy with it. The dancing was fantastic!” she said.

James Flood, Sally Stephens and PJ Sheehy served as judges at the event, making the tricky decision on who went ahead to the grand final in the Amber Springs on March 11. This event saw the Castletown finalists go head-to-head against finalists from the Kilanerin Tara Rocks GAA Club Strictly event.
