Ploughing Championships Supplies!

STADEdeLUC

Hi guys! Im heading to the ploughing championships on thursday and was wondering where in limerick city would I be able to buy wellies and some wet pants nothing fancy needed as im a complete novice to it and im also on a budget! Thanks!

Barrys Hardware Shop on High St for wellies I'd imagine - good ones anyway, but honestly wouldn't have a clue as regards what you should be paying for them. However if you're on a budget maybe try B&Q or Homebase. Don't know if there's a farmwear supplies place in town any more (Boyds or Newsoms would have been ideal for what you're after but sadly, they're gone)

Dunnes for wellies! 20 quid, now dont get me wrong... They're traditional shamrock green wellies but mine have lasted me an unreal amount of festival lurking :P

Thanks lads! I'll head in and have a gawk around anyway! Still have to find wet pants somewhere! Should of them in Aldi when they were there!

€14 for wellies in heatons. Did me the job for a few festivals this summer. They might do wet gear too

Radar Stores in Foxes Bow should have wet pants.

As in the one in Raheen? Or is there a different one?

yah, the one in Raheen. Sure they sell outdoor clothes for farmers.

You'll get decent dunlop wellies there (Coop superstore raheen) for 12-16 yoyo.
They will have wetgear pants too. Although Aldi or lidl have cycle gear tomorrow and probably have water proof trousers for less.

TKMaxx for wet gear i'd say, i'd be surprised if they didn't do snazzy wellies also.
heard some major horror stories about traffic for the ploughing match, tomorrow will be busiest day as weather is to be good, good luck, its a great day out.

Wellies by Dunlop in Raheen co op, 20 yoyo for 2 pairs. Michaerl Guiney's for wet pants, 2 piece suit for around a tenner.

Go out to the place in Raheen, and get proper wellies, not the pansy ones you see people posing in at festivals!
