Irish harvest gold and bronze at the World Ploughing Contest in Canada
John Whelan, Wexford, won the reversible section, and Eamonn Tracey, Co Carlow, was third in the conventional section in Olds, Alberta.
“The competition at world level is intense, to come out on top twice by winning gold and bronze is beyond our expectations,” said Anna Marie McHugh, assistant managing director of the National Ploughing Association, who was recently appointed general secretary of the executive committee of the World Ploughing Organisation.
