Plenty of local backing for Eamonn’s tractor record bid

An All-Ireland-winning footballer will today aim to set a Guinness World Record for completing the longest journey reversing a tractor and trailer.

Eamonn Hickson, aged 27, plans to drive backwards from Dingle to Annascaul in Co Kerry, a distance of 17.5km.

“I think the event is unusual as no one has attempted a world record tractor and trailer reverse,” he said yesterday.
