Though Irish to the core, Digicel's David Hall was not too bleary-eyed to recognise a good woman when he met Liz eight years ago in Ireland.

Their love story began when they both worked for Kerry Group - she was based in Ireland and he was based in England. When the time came for the annual soccer tournament, David felt, being Irish, he should go to Ireland for the game, so he took the team across.

"Liz and I met at the dinner-dance after the game; I was in a group which included a work colleague of hers. She joined our conversation and I was introduced and immediately became more interested in her," he tells Flair. The sparks that were ignited that night burned into an eight-year flame and led to marriage last year. But the couple broke with Irish tradition and returned to the same county where they met for their wedding. "The tradition is for couples to marry in the county where the bride's family is from. We felt special about County Cork and wanted to be married there," David said.
