Matchmaker finds his match in Philippines

SETTING up a dating agency was virgin territory for 64-year-old Chris Sexton. The single Clare farmer put his hand to the plough to find brides for lonely country men.

“Yes, I got lucky,” he said yesterday, as he begins to prepare for a June wedding to his 22-year-old bride-to-be.
