The first session of the two-day Kinsale point-to-point meeting took place at a sun-drenched Farrangalway on Saturday evening and Ciaran Fennessy increased his advantage to four over the absent Derek O’Connor in the southern riders’ championship by partnering a two-timer to bring his tally in the region to 23.

The Pat Doyle-trained Six Gun Serenade gave ample indication that a bright track career lies in wait by winning the four-year-old geldings’ maiden at yesterday’s well-attended Killeady Harriers point-to-point at Ballyarthur outside Fermoy.
