The Hard Shoulder Highlights

"It's been a lot of Ploughing." Jamie Redknapp & Ploughmen & Women 

The Ploughing is back but not as we know it. Instead of crowds of 250,000 the 90th National Ploughing Championships in Ratheniska County Laois is limited to 1,000 people per day, because of uncertainty over Covid Restrictions.   The event has no trade exhibitions just back to basics ploughing in the fields for plough men and women. However there was a hint of glamour as Freddie Flintoff, Patrice Evra, Romesh Ranganathan and Jamie Redknapp showed up to film an episode of 'A League of their Own'. Henry McKean was there to see if it still has the Ploughing Atmosphere and he sent us this report.
