Other attractions at the event included hedge laying competitions, fencing competitions, a craft fair, dog show, a mini-digger challenge and musical entertainment from the inimitable Welsh Whisperer.

Ireland claimed the bragging rights in the 5 Nation Championships with Kilkenny's Brian Ireland and Frank Cullen from Wexford clinching top spot.
