Downpatrick FC Notes and Strictly Come Dancing

The standard of dancing in the second half of the show was out of this world and made things very difficult for the judges with all pairings receiving at least one ‘10’ from a judge. After another brief interval it was time for Bruce & Tess to announce Downpatrick’s Strictly Come Dancing winners for 2013. All dancers who had participated in the show were welcomed on stage. In what was a really close contest, Bruce & Tess were pleased to announce the winners, Roisin Torney & Chris Perry. The winning couple at this stage were mobbed by other contestants and after things had calmed down Roisin & Chris closed the show with one of their dances. The committees of Downpatrick FC and Celtic Bhoys would like to publicly thank all the dancers for the effort & commitment they have given to make this production the huge success it was. The thanks is also extended to all other individuals who played a role in putting on such a memorable and fantastic production which appears to have really caught the imagination of the people of Downpatrick. * xa0 Downpatrick firsts played back to back games against Rosario last Thursday and Saturday, unfortunately they struggled in both ties, drawing nil-nil on Thursday and going down 2xa0–xa01 at home on Saturday, especially having gone ahead thanks to a Stevie Galbraith penalty.
