It was a case of rolling back the years at the rescheduled Kanturk – Duhallow point-to-point meeting at Dromahane on Saturday for Robert Tyner’s 13-year-old Preists Leap sluiced home in the open lightweight.

Jim Dreaper appears to have a seriously-talented-prospect on his hands in the form of Lord Fingal who lit up Saturday’s Ward Union hunt point-to-point at The Folly outside Oldtown in north Co Dublin by coming home as he pleased in the five-year-old geldings’ maiden.

The 2012/13 point-to-point season got under way at Rathcannon on Saturday with the County Limerick Hunt’s Bruff meeting and Tyrone Golden Rain lit up the meeting for many by destroying the opposition in the eight-runner open lightweight.
