What a fantastic day for Collone Young Farmers’ Club at Armagh Show.

The club hosted their annual stand with, plenty to do and plenty to show.

The members enjoyed hosting games such as guessing how many balloons were in the tractor, and guessing the combined weight of two lambs, which proved very popular with the crowd.

The competition was fierce with clubs from county Armagh and Co Tyrone coming down to compete. Despite the difficult, hot weather conditions, all of the clubs put in a good effort, but it was Co Tyrone who took the victory this time with Castlecaufield team 1 placing in first and Trillick and District coming in at second.

Collone YFC also had a special guest appearance from YFCU mascot ‘Moo’. Moo was the celebrity of the show visiting a variety of different trade stands and posing for pictures at every opportunity.

In the afternoon the popular, annual Jiving competition was hosted in the Collone YFC tent.
