Longford Rose Marie Brady Cut For Rose Of Tralee Crown

Marie Brady is enjoying some local support after bets were placed on the 20-year old on Thursday morning to bring the Rose of Tralee crown to Longford for the first time.

We’ve cut the price on the Longford Rose into 22/1 from 33/1 to win the Rose of Tralee crown.

Studying Montessori part-time, Marie Brady wants to become a SEN teacher and work in special education. An avid GAA fan, Marie is the Irish officer for her local GAA club and volunteers at the local special needs school.

The Longford Rose entry lives on a family farm and teaches children music and dance. Maura Higgins put Longford on the map after her Love Island experience earlier this summer, but Marie Brady could bring further joy to the county should she be crowned this year’s Rose of Tralee.

Kildare Rose Emer Fogarty has also attracted some support with her odds backed into 7/1 from 16/1. Emer has a degree in psychology and an All-Ireland medal from Kildare winning the Intermediate final at Croke Park in 2016. Emer also has her own company, Rise Yoga, and plays the guitar.
