Ball on a roll after Project fall

GROUND BALL landed the featured Horse and Jockey Hotel Hurdle at Thurles yesterday in a contest which produced more than its fair share of spills.

First to depart was Vic Ville on the bend after the stands and he brought down Boleyknowsbest.

Conor O’Dwyer allowed Ground Ball stride on with a circuit to cover and from the third last Lissbonney Project emerged as the only danger.
