Assistant Managing Director of the Ploughing Championships Michael Mahon has said that the team working behind the scenes did a great job

“If you go to an office anywhere and they shut the door at half five," Mr Mahon said.

"If you go to the NPA office there is someone there, 12 O’Clock at night, One O’Clock at night, 7 O’Clock in the morning.

“If every other organisation could do that they would go up the hill too.”
