Gladiator Kevin crowned young farmer of the year
Mr Heavin took home the top prize of a specially commissioned piece by artist Erich Fichtner and a travel bursary worth €3,000.
Arguably more gruelling than any beauty pageant, Heavin had to see off 400 entrants — reduced to 25 semi-finalists yesterday afternoon, and finally down to six finalists — before lifting his crown late last night. Gladiators have earned everlasting fame for far lesser body counts.
