Our annual ploughing match was held Saturday 3rd April 2004. There was a good turn out of 52 competitors despite the poor weather conditions which made the field progressively more muddy as the morning went on. Some competitors were forced to abandon their plots due to lack of traction but most were able to finish. Unfortunately there aren't as many photographs as we would like because the photographer was struggling to finish his own plot.
