Anseanachai Cliste completes magnificent seven in four-miler

The first session of the two-day Kinsale point-to-point meeting took place at a sun-drenched Farrangalway on Saturday evening and Ciaran Fennessy increased his advantage to four over the absent Derek O’Connor in the southern riders’ championship by partnering a two-timer to bring his tally in the region to 23.

The Fermoy amateur instigated his brace aboard this season’s leading pointer Anseanachai Cliste (evens-4/6), who was recording his seventh consecutive this year, in the four-mile open that was staged in memory of the late Jack Tyner.

Anseanachai Cliste, fitted with his customary cheekpieces, made most of the running and he asserted in game fashion after the penultimate of the 20 obstacles to defeat Ivor Kingston’s Clara More by seven lengths.
