Killarney

<h3>Mike Brosnan was the only member of Killarney Ploughing Association to qualify for last week&rsquo;s National Ploughing Association&rsquo;s All-Ireland finals.</h3>
Last weekend, Mike and his helper James Collins competed in the &lsquo;Two-furrow mounted vintage category&rsquo; and he placed 12th in the country with a score of 146.
 Killarney Ploughing Association&rsquo;s chairman Thomas Wharton was at the event and witnessed Mike&rsquo;s competition.
 &ldquo;Mike got on very well considering the 18 months with no practice. He was up against the best of the best,&rdquo; he said.
 Meanwhile, Killarney Ploughing Association is hoping to run its local championships in November.
 &ldquo;We are very proud of Mike representing both Killarney and Kerry in the National Ploughing Championships,&rdquo; the Association&rsquo;s press officer Veronica Heaslip told the Killarney Advertiser. &ldquo;We have no date yet for our local match as we haven&rsquo;t had our AGM, but we are hoping for early November.&rdquo;
