Best of luck to our neighbours in hosting the sheep shearing this weekend. Make sure you get over to support.
We hosted the event in 1997 and 2017 and have great memories of both weekends. We also remember the trojan effort the late Tommy Dolan put in to hosting in 2017. Best of luck to the organisers
