In 1955, the Clonmany Sheepdog Trials moved to the Warren, Binnion. The Sheepdog Trials continued up until 1959 at Binnion but unfortunately events lapsed that year and did not recommence until 1967 where the trials were held in Pollan Green, Ballyliffin. This annual event still takes place at Pollan Green and remains popular to this day.
