Miss Elizabeth F. Bobbett, Secretary of the Irish Farmers' Federation, who was in attendance, congratulated the committee on the success of their sports. It showed that the farmers could make a success of anything once they turned their hands to it, and added this success was only in keeping with the splendid record of achievement in social activity for which the County Kildare Farmers' Federation had become renowned. She was proud to say that her father and mother came from Newbridge and had associations with the County. She urged all engaged in agriculture to unite and present a united front so as to achieve their aims.
