When the Ploughing Championship was held in Cuffesgrange, Kilkenny - were you there?

The National Ploughing Championships have been  held in Co Kilkenny seven times.

Most recently the three-day festival of farming and rural Ireland was held in Kilkenny on lands at Cuffesgrange. 

Watch now: Danesfort's Garry Ireland should have been defending his title at the National Ploughing Championships this week - but he had a chat with us to tell us why Kilkenny is now producing some of the top ploughers in the country!

Were you there? Do you remember your visit, or do you need a reminder? Enjoy this gallery of photographs from our archive from September 2008!
