Killarney Ploughing to host county’s biggest match

By Sean Moriarty
The delayed County Ploughing Match will go ahead in Fossa on Sunday.
Killarney Ploughing Association’s event was originally supposed to take place on November 13 but was postponed due to bad weather at that time.
The rescheduled match is set for 11am on Sunday morning at Coffey’s Farm in Fossa.
It is the first time that the Killarney Ploughing Association will host a County Ploughing Match – considered the biggest ploughing event in the county.
Qualifiers from Sunday’s event will go forward to represent Kerry at the All-Ireland Ploughing Championships in Ratheniska, County Laois in September next year.
“We have a strong entry,” Killarney chairman Tony Wharton told the Killarney Advertiser.
“We are expecting 10 or 12 tractors, three horsemen, one each from Sligo, Cork and Kerry and an iron horse, which is a walk-behind plough with a small engine.”
Further details are available from Tony on 087 206 9161.
