Following the 1st XV win over UCC last Saturday, the Zurich Room became the venue for Lansdowne’s inaugural Blind Date event. Over 130 guests attended to be entertained by MC Jack Dinneen and his contestants.

The scene was set by Jim O’Shea who wowed the audience with his uncanny impressions of some familiar Lansdowne voices. Including, but not limited to, Mike Ruddock, Captain Eamonn Mills and Will Matthews.

Jack then took to the stage and introduced the first three bachelors and the bachelorette. There were five rounds in total with some interesting pairings made. Highlights included some vocal stylings from Fitzy, Adam Leavy and Harry Byrne and some talk of a ‘fix’ when a bachelorette named Ntinga as her choice rather than his alter ego of ‘bachelor number 3’!

Congratulations to the organising committee for putting together such a great event and we look forward to seeing what they have planned over the rest of the season.
