Yesterday at Tinahely Agricultural Show Society Ltd. we witnessed a fantastic display of skill and sportsmanship at our annual Sheaf Throwing competition. Despite the weather throwing us a few showers, the enthusiasm and energy from our competitors lit up the event, making it a memorable day for all.
We are incredibly grateful to the Tinahely Agricultural Show for their steadfast support in hosting this traditional competition each year, providing a platform for showcasing such talents. Special thanks to Paddy Healy, the show's vice president, for presenting the well-deserved prizes to our winners.
The competition was fierce across various categories, including a novice men's competition, a seniors' competition, and a ladies' competition.
In the senior competition, the winners were:
1st Place: Daniel Breen from Tralee, County Kerry
2nd Place: Sean Casey from Cork
3rd Place: Diarmuid Casey (Sean's father)
Rebecca Casey earned the title of the best under 18 thrower, showcasing exceptional talent and promising potential for the future!
For the novice and ladies competitions, as I don't have all the names, please tag the individuals in the pictures.
We want to extend a big thank you to all those who participated and attended the event. Looking forward to seeing everyone again next year for another round of Sheaf Throwing at Tinahely Agricultural Show.
