PICTURES: Great day of ploughing in Kilkenny

The first ploughing competition of the new year was organised by the Tullogher Glenmore Ploughing Association, last weekend.
Despite Storm Éowyn, the day before, there was a great turnout on the day.
With thanks to the Lynch family for permission to hold the event on their land.
