Ballyagran makes fine start over fences as Listowel ends on a high

CONSIDERING the dreadful weather for much of the week, the hugely successful seven-day Listowel Festival was completed in style yesterday, with the overall attendance a highly satisfactory 87,000.

Indeed, the only problem on this occasion, weather-wise, was the possibility of getting sun-burnt!

Noel Meade's Ballyagran made a fine start over fences when getting the best of a terrific tussle with Chicago Vic in the Dawn Pure Orange Juice Beginners Chase.
