All hands to the plough as Cork wins top prizes at championships

THE large attendance from West Cork at this week’s National Ploughing Championships was thrilled with the performance of its team in the 21 ploughing competitions at the centre of the event.

Their five All-Ireland wins, plus two wins for East Cork, were unmatched by any other county.

Eamon Tracey’s win in the prestigious senior conventional test match was one of three for Co Carlow.
