In-form handler Michael Winters must have felt like Bill Murray’s character in the widely-acclaimed film Groundhog Day at yesterday’s well-attended Killeagh Harriers point-to-point meeting as, for the second Sunday running, he struck with a hugely-exciting newcomer that had many of those present searching for previously unused superlatives.

For many, it was a case of the best wine being reserved until last at yesterday’s well-attended Lisgoold point-to-point fixture that was staged at Templenacarriga for Follow The Swallow readily put his rivals to the sword in the closing 18-runner seven-year-old and upwards maiden.

Ground conditions were extremely demanding at yesterday’s Carbery Hunt point-to-point fixture at Kilpatrick outside Bandon.

Punters experienced marginally the better of the exchanges at yesterday’s Dungarvan Harriers point-to-point fixture, which took place at Affane as opposed to the normal Kilossera venue, and the well-supported 6/4 favourite Davy From Milan provided them with plenty of cause for cheer by triumphing in the eight-runner open lightweight.
