The crowds turned out in force at Clogher Valley Show despite heavy showers and muddy conditions underfoot and despite the cancellation of the horse and pony events.

“The Chairman and the committee took the decision to cancel the horse and pony sections on health and safety grounds. It was a very hard decision to make,” said Ruth Montgomery, Show Secretary.

“We would normally have around 1,000 horses and ponies on the 15-acre field,” she revealed.

One of the top Fermanagh winners was Clive Knox from Irvinestown who wono the Bank of Ireland/NISA Pedigree Junior Bull Championship for which he had pre-qualified at an earlier show.
