Twenty Nine Ploughmen made their way through the early morning mist to compete in the North East Hants Ploughing Match at Hartley Park Farm. Fortunately the mist soon cleared and as Mr R.Tiller began to work his crown the sun had broken through and all ploughmen were able to finish their plots in bright sunshine

Quite a number of spectators took the opportunity to cast a critical eye on the proceedings, though not all arrived on horseback. |
|
Youngest competitor on the field was 13 year old Mr J Fry who was ploughing with a Massey-Ferguson 35 in the Open Vintage class for mounted ploughs. The chopped straw caused some problems for ploughs in this class but the quality of this work suggests that his name will be engraved onto one of the North East Hants Trophies in the not too far distant future |

The Open
Trailed Vintage class coped better with the trash. |
| Also ploughing in the Open Vintage Class was Gary Rutter who, fresh from his fourth place in the Crawler Class at the National Ploughing Match the week before, was in top form, winning the Mansbridge Cup for the best work with a vintage tractor and the prize for the best finish on the field. |  |
 |
At the far end of this plot, about to start his final run, was Mr John Trenchard, on his way to winning 2005 North East Hants Championship. |
 Mr
E. Philips who, with eight furrows behind was by far the biggest plough
on the field, took the Watson & Haig Trophy for the best work with a
reversible plough. |
