Derry Rose, Darcy Taylor, is favourite to win the annual competition, according to Ladbrokes.

The competition will be broadcast next Monday and Tuesday, and Darcy Taylor, a producer at BBC Radio Foyle, hailing from Bellaghy in Derry, is current favourite to win the competition at 3/1.

Tipperary Rose, Tara Brady is at 7/1. The 23 year old from Ballina has a keen interest in Irish history and oral history.

She has also taken part in the World Irish Dancing Championship and is part of an Irish traditional music group called Cailiní Lua.

Waterford Rose, Abby Walsh, is a primary school teacher in a Gaelscoil.

She is passionate about the Irish language and Irish dancing. She is currently fifth in the betting at 8/1.

Also among the favourites are North Carolina Rose, Kathryn Wright, a program manager for global education whose grandmother was from Galway (10/1), Sligo Rose, Megan McCormack, a substitute Primary school teacher and keen footballer (10/1), Cork Rose, Shauna O’Sullivan, a pharmacist from Araglen (12/1) and Yorkshire Rose, Clidna Bailey-Doyle, a wedding co-ordinator with Wexford heritage (12/1).

The festival finishes on August 20th.

Commenting, Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes said: “The punters are backing the Derry Rose to win this year’s competition, but the Kerry Rose has also seen a flurry of support come her way.

“We’re in for a treat over the weekend with Dáithí Ó Sé and Kathryn Thomas hosting the annual showpiece.”
