TWO AND THREE TIMES WINNERS

Four distinguished bards have between them won the bard title a total of ten times: Liam McNally 2008 and 2009; Jimmy Rafferty 2004, 2006 and 2007; Pat McGeeney 1999 and 2002; Patsy O Hagan 1997, 1998 and 2001:  Who is going to challenge these bards?  Will we have our first female winner in 2010?  This year has seen an overpowering bag of entries including many newcomers from all parts of Ireland.  Some of these are sure to make the finals on Friday 19 November in Armagh City Hotel.  Miss it at your peril!
