Poulmucka and District Ploughing Association held a very successful ploughing match on last Sunday, October 18. The weather was exceptional and the field was ideal. There were 30 competitors across multiple classes ranging from beginners at the age of 16 to much more experienced plough persons (We won’t mention their ages!)

Many thanks firstly to the land owners The Ryan family, for allowing permission to host the match and to our sponsors, without their help it would not be possible to run the ploughing match.

Thanks also to all who came along and competed, the spectators, the great ladies of Ballingeary ICA who fed and watered everyone and all who helped in any way to make this another very successful ploughing match.
