The 2015/16 point-to-point season finally resumed on Saturday, some 17 days later than anticipated, with the Lisgoold meeting at Templencarriga.

Whilst weather conditions were wet and windy at yesterday’s United Foxhounds point-to-point fixture at Ballindenisk, it’s a day that will live long in the memory of 18-year-old Emma Nagle from Kilavullen as she claimed her first winner aboard her father TJ Nagle Junior’s homebred The Bishop Looney in the novice riders open.

There was some fantastic fare on offer at yesterday’s Kanturk-Duhallow point-to-point fixture at the ever-dependable Dromahane circuit and handler Nick Stokes from Fethard sent out a one-two in the opening four-year-old maiden when newcomer Stretchingthetruth just got the better of Royal Supremo by a head in the hands of John Barry.
