On Saturday 7th August we made the short trip to Enniskillen to support Fermanagh County Show.

We enjoyed a great day out and were awarded overall Show Champion with a Bantam Black Orpington Cockeral as well as Reserve Champion with a Large Black Orpington Hen, with 9 of our exhibits making it onto Champions Row.

Matthew Samuel and Joshua also followed up their success in Fermanagh in 2017 by again winning the Juvenile Champion Award with another large Black Orpington this time a pullet. We a lso secured the overall Champion Egg exhibit with 5 Blue Cream Legbar Eggs.

Overall it was a really enjoyable day and it was very pleasing to finally secure the championship at my local show. Special thanks to the poultry judge Ryan McLaren, the show organisers and stewards for their professionalism and organisation on the day.
