Sorry to report the Witheridge match was cancelled yesterday and the Cheriton match has been cancelled this evening. Sorry to disappoint, hope to see you next year on the 19th September for the 76th match.

The entry date has been extended and we really hope that as many ploughmen as possible can support the air ambulance as well as keep their
talents honed with their ploughs

for some of us , never! All the more upsetting because as some adventurous souls proved last year, there is no impediment to running a ploughing match! A county show is another matter, of course
