Luke Ronayne and Joanne O’Gara

This popular couple, due to get married later on in the year, will be strong contenders to lift the crown. Luke, from Kilmacnella, is a well known Davitts player and a massive Mayo fan. It is rumoured that a certain member of his family may not be there to support him on the night as he has other engagements in Rome. Luke is being mentored for this event by his neighbour Michael Hett, himself another big Mayo fan. Ballindine native Joanne is a sister of current Davitts senior player Carlos. She is really looking forward to the competition and her biggest concern is trying to help Luke overcome his shyness.

Mark and Olive Diskin

The former Davitts forward, midfielder and goalkeeper takes his place in the line-up for the Mr. & Mrs. Contest and many would consider Mark and his wife Olive to be one of the favourites to win. The Carranurlaur couple are rumoured to be working long into the night in the build-up to March 9th, plotting how they can win the coveted title. Indeed Mark will take a grave view if they do not emerge victorious.

Olive, who hails from Dunmacreena, will have big support in Bourkes and she has stated that herself and Mark will leave no stone unturned in their quest to win. Olive said “It has been my lifetime ambition to appear on the stage in Bourkes and I am taking this event very seriously”.

Patrick Kirrane and Tara Reapy

The third couple taking part in the Davitts Mr. & Mrs contest is Tara Reapy and Paddy Kirrane. One of the youngest couples taking part, they will nonetheless fancy their chances of claiming the prestigious title. With the competition heating up nicely, Paddy’s participation is sure to add fuel to the flames. The former Davitts shot stopper has assured us that he is saving some of his best quick-fire responses for the cheeky questions on the night.

Tara, currently an IT student in Galway, has been busily trying to program all possible questions and answers into her boyfriends head for the big night. When asked to rate how Paddy was coping with memorising the sheer volume of information, Tara gave Paddy a C++ rating…(Google it!).

Pete and Geraldine Warren

Just to prove that this event is no sham, we are delighted to announce that Pete and Geraldine Warren are throwing their hats into the ring. The popular Tuam couple are confident that they will emerge victorious on the night. Already installed as favourites to win with Stagg Bookmakers, Pete has indicated that that this would be right up there in his impressive list of achievements, were they to pull it off.

Pete said “To win such a prestigious title that is Mr. & Mrs. Davitts would be on a par with winning a county final with Tuam Stars or Davitts or an All-Ireland with Galway”. Geraldine (the boss) said that couples such as Ronan Mac and Sarah Broderick won’t phase them and both herself and Pete can’t wait for March 9th to come.
