I'm not sure what's better: the gooseberries or the place names!

Based on my experience of fruit and vegetable competitions at rural shows...it's the visual appearance of each fruit and the consistency in size and appearance across all the fruit in each entry.

Yes, I think that’s about how it goes. Also , wonderful opportunities for bitching and general begrudgery along the lines of “how did he/she win with those? Must be something funny going on with the judge”.

Top trivia: first and second were from Buttevant and Doneraile. The first steeplechase (cross country horse race) took place from the former to the latter.

The whinging is usually the highlight of these events!

How were they being judged? By their gooseberriness?

Essentially, yes. There’s a comment above about it.
