The event was held last Saturday by Mountnorris Young Farmers club in tribute to former members 17-year-olds Andrew Gass and Mark Hutcheson. The money raised will go to the club as well as the charity BRAKE.
Mark and Andrew, both students at Southern Regional College in Armagh, had been members of the club since around the age of 13.

The route for Saturday’s run left Mountnorris, turned left for Tullyallen, and went past the family homes and church, where flowers were laid and tractors all idled past the church.
Mountnorris YFC have thanked all the tractor drivers and all the individuals who helped out and supported the day.
