Catriona Buggle from Ballybarney, Ballitore, Co. Kildare, finalist in the Shambo™ Shakedown beat thousands of daily Today FM Lunchtime winners to battle it out live on-air in front of a massive crowd, in the O’Briens & Today FM’s Shambo™ Shakedown Competition Finale, beside O’Briens Sandwich Bar, Level 1 Dublin Airport, on Monday 3rd October, 2005.

The month – long nationwide on-air competition in association with Tony Fenton’s Lunchtime Show launched O’Brien’s NEW signature sandwich … The Shambo™, made with shamrock shaped foccacio and nutty whole meal bread.

Each of the finalists competing in the outside broadcast finale in Dublin Airport were ready with their bags packed to take the 17:00hrs flight to dive with the Great White Shark in Cape town, South Africa, home of O’Briens Sandwich Bars newest store.

“Catriona was a true champion, she answered the Shambo™ Shakedown questions effortlessly, and although she claimed to be nervous in front of the crowd she was a real pro under pressure!” said Tony Fenton, Tony Fenton’s Lunchtime Show, Today FM.

O’Briens didn’t let Catriona and two other runners up head home cases packed; instead they received a two nights stay in a luxurious 4star hotel in Isle of Man with flights courtesy of Aer Arann.

“The competition proved to be very entertaining and nerve wracking for the contestants, their families, and the audience. We hope both Catriona and her partner Brian enjoy their surprise runner up prize of a luxury stay in the Isle of Man“, said Fiacra Nagle, M.D. O’Briens Ireland.
