FOR a show that very nearly didn’t happen after losing its former home when the local Clarecastle GAA grounds were redeveloped, Clarecastle triumphed again last Saturday.

“The show this year was a real challenge in so many ways. The committee went from despair in January, when we were literally within hours of advising the ISA of our intention to withdraw from this year’s show calendar, to elation when our new hosts the O’Gorman family so generously made their homestead available,” explains Shane Slattery.
