This annual venue must be the coldest part of Cork County. Although it was very windy and very cold, 17 pups ran a great race. This was a good decent drag, probably because of the un-disturbed countryside. The only disappointment was the bitter weather!!!

We met the hounds racing at the first/only crossing after 7mins. John Ahernes' 'Jasper' of Northern United led the bunch with Mickey Briens 'Judys Girl' of Mayfield crossing 2nd. When they showed on the finish, Pat O Learys 'Don't Quote Me' seemed to lead them in from a good 5 fields out. She battled hard and maintained this pace in front to finish with a few lengths to spare on her clubmate 'Jasper' who took 2nd place for John Aherne. Timmy McCarthy took the 3rd & 4th places with 'Sheares Park Boy' and 'Sheares Park Lad' of Southern Harriers.
