Luker's Annual Turnip Awards

Donal and Myra Scoop Top Turnip Trophy.

Donal and Myra Guinan hit the jackpot in the Luker’s Annual Turnip Awards when they were the most accurate in guessing the weight of the turnip. The huge swede, supplied by local grower Rory Greene and weighed by Sean Kelly, observed by independent scrutineers Flannery and Reynolds, tipped the scales at 18lbs- 8ozs. Donal and Myra were nearest with 18-7, Cathal Daly next at 18–6 and Danny Farrelly 3rd with 18–4. Well done to all. Some growers are reported to be reviewing their choice of seed variety ahead of next year’s competition!
