When asked by Newstalk's Henry McKean how he had enjoyed his day in the fields, Redknapp replied: "There's been a lot of ploughing! I must admit, it's been an incredible experience.
"I've obviously heard about it. I've spent a lot of time in Ireland, lots of different experiences playing golf down at Adare Manor and places like Ballybunion, which is one of my favourite golf courses in the world. But to do something like this...
"Yesterday, we were road bowling, down near Dingle, and then today, to come here, it's been so much fun. And to see lots of people come out - obviously, not the hundred thousand that are normally here - it's just nice to get into the tradition of what, you know, people do.
"It's been an amazing time for us. What I really love was so many people enjoy A League of Their Own here, which obviously gives us - Freddie and myself and Romesh and Patrice today - a really lovely feeling."
"Do you think you could take up being a farmer?" the Hard Shoulder's McKean wondered.
"Totally honest? No," laughed Redknapp. "[But] I do love the experience."
