I see Clonmel Show has appointed a new president to succeed the late Carrie Acheson, who led the show to great success during her tenure.

Eddie O’Gorman is the longest-serving member of the present Clonmel Show committee, having chaired the horse committee for 20 years. O’Gorman pioneered the ever-popular celebrity donkey derby at Clonmel while also showing his Woodrooffe flock of Suffock sheep and bloodstock from his Cloncahir House Stud.

Clonmel Show takes place on 2 July at Powerstown Park.
