First in action was a group from Cushinstown Macra. The team of Eric Wickham, John Forrestal, James Forrestal and Patrick Larkin took part in the Famers Journal Know Your Ag Quiz. This title was hotly contested for with Kinsalebeg Macra from Waterford claiming the top prize. There was plenty to do over the weekend including a fancy dress party, gala banquet, farm walks and the club of the year competition. On Sunday it was the turn of the Bord Bia Beef Stockjudging Competition with Mark Waters and Niall Jones from Bree Macra representing the county in the Senior and Under 23 classifications respectively.
