The Young Farmers' Clubs of Ulster, in association with Power NI, are excited for their annual John Bradley competition. Set out by County Fermanagh YFC this year, the competition is a Soapbox Derby which is being held at Fermanagh Fun Farm, Lisbellaw on Friday 26th June 2026.
James Morrison (County Fermanagh YFC Chair) commented, "It’s not too often that the members of YFCU get to experience a competition in Fermanagh, so as a County, we wanted to pull out all the stops to make the John Bradley bigger and better, most importantly encouraging members to travel west for a change of scenery".
