Talk of the Déise dominates agricultural show

EVEN the row over Brazilian beef imports had to give way to talk about Sunday’s hurling clash between Waterford and Cork among the chattering classes at Dungarvan Agricultural Show yesterday.

The game dominated all talk at the 91st show, where the secretary Donna Coady reported entries of 200 horses, 110 cattle and 100 sheep.

Waterford flags fluttered from houses and cars while bunting in the team colours spanned streets across the county, as exhibitors and patrons headed for the show grounds, where sponsor badges were even in blue and white.
