THE County Show went ahead last Sunday in superb weather conditions,
with bright sunshine and very high temperatures.
Clashing with the Munster hurling final hit the crowd to a certain
extent, but it was still a very successful day according to chairman
Joe Lillis. “The crowd was smaller than usual but we had great horse
classes, plenty of jumpers, the cattle were back naturally because of
the weather. We had a good few trade stands in it. We actually had a
large fleet of donkeys in there.”
He added, “The hurling took a good bit from it. Also the weather, a
lot of people wouldn’t show cattle in that weather. The cattle just
don’t perform, you could take a 100 weight off a beast travelling two
hours in a box on a day like that.
“The cattle were down, but the showing horses were up. We had a great
All Ireland yearling class there, it’s known as the Banner yearling
class and it was for a colt, gelding or filly. It was a very popular
winner, Rebecca Monaghan won it with a filly.”
The winner of the De Valera Cup was exhibited by Tiernan Gill from
Ballina. The horse was owned by Donny McHale from Omagh in Co Tyrone.
The sire of it was Lough Ahoe Guy and the dam was Colin Diamond.
