2019 BALMORAL SHOW (ROYAL ULSTER SHOW)

May 24, 2019

“My Girl” scoops the Salers Championship at the Balmoral Show
It was a super week for the Maginn family, Downpatrick when they scooped their first Supreme Breed Championship in the ring at the Balmoral Show.

Their outstanding home bred two year old heifer Lisnamaul My Girl is sired by Seawell Fitzpatrick and out of Lisnamaul Eimar who is still going strong at 16 years of age.
Standing in Reserve position was the Junior Champion from B & P O’Kane, Greysteel; Lower Bolie Neala was winner in the yearling class and was bred by the O’Kane’s, sired by the French bull Druide.
This pair of animals then joined up with B & P O’Kane’s Brookfields Rosheen, P J Maginn’s Lisnamaul Molly and a young bull Kaimburn Mr Cool from C & S Kennedy to be tapped out runners up in the Continental Team of 5 Championships.

The Reserve Junior championship was awarded to J & EA Elliott, Newtownstewart with their young bull Drumlegah Neptune, who is sired by the multi prize winning home bred bull Drumlegagh Hamish.

The best pair from one exhibitor is always a good class, and this was won by the Maginn family with their Champion Heifer matched with another two year old heifer from the Lisnamaul herd also sired by Seawell Fitzpatrick.
Judging was in the capable hands of Patrick Boyd, who runs the noted Drumaglea Salers herd based in the Isle of Tiree.
