Following an enforced 20-day break due to the inclement weather conditions, point-to-point racing returned to the Cork and Waterford region on Saturday as the rescheduled Tallow meeting (run under the auspices of the West Waterford Foxhounds) took place at Shanakill Cross outside Conna.

The Harry Kelly-trained Carthalawn lit up yesterday’s well-attended Tallow point-to-point meeting, staged on Jimmy Mangan’s lands at Shanakill Cross, by winning a vintage renewal of the open lightweight.
