ANYONE who attended Killyleagh Show last Saturday, or has even just seen photographs from the venue, won’t be too surprised to learn that when the result sheets got back to the secretary’s tent they were mainly illegible if not mulch!

There was a less than auspicious start to the fixture when, on Friday, a gust of wind caught hold of the show’s marquee, buckling it in the process and resulting in one of the main organisers, Paula McCarthy, breaking her arm. The committee here is made of stern stuff however and all, including McCarthy, were on site on Saturday morning and dealt as best they could with the very challenging weather conditions.
