THE Ballyfoyle Agricultural Show, now in its 32nd year, will take place on June 28th, with a full programme of equestrian events expected to draw strong entries.

A comprehensive schedule of classes will be held across three show jumping arenas, culminating in the Grand Prix, where a substantial prize pot of €3,000 will again be on offer. The show will also host the opening round of the Grassroots League, an initiative introduced last year by the South Leinster SJI Committee. The league will run at the five grass SJI shows in the region and is aimed at encouraging novice pony riders to compete on a grass surface. Terrific prize money is on offer in the final at Dunamaggin Gymkhana in September. Entries can be made online through the SJI Live portal. An ever-popular feature of the day in Ballyfoyle are the Local Lead Rein classes, which are always a fantastic attraction.
