Laois may be the home of the National Ploughing Championships, but Laois people are big fans of the event no matter where it is held, and Alf Harvey was on hand for the Leinster Express / Laois Live to capture them on camera enjoying the 2026 edition of the event just over the county boundary in neighbouring Offaly. Enjoy the gallery.
