Six Donegal brothers ploughing their way to TV fame tonight

A family of skilled farmers from Donegal will be featured in a special edition of RTE’s Nationwide this Wednesday evening.

The Simms brothers from Milford have gained attention at the National Ploughing Championships as all six of them are competing in Carlow this week.

RTE cameras will meet Matthew, Lee, Gary, Alan, Andrew and Ivan Simms tonight to hear about their events and preparations.  Competitiveness clearly runs in the family, as eldest brother Matthew is coach to the Republic of Ireland ploughing team.

Tune in to Nationwide on RTE One from 7pm this Wednesday, 18th September, to see the show.
