THE Connolly’s Red Mills/Association of Irish Riding Clubs’ national hunter trials championships are taking place tomorrow at Nuenna Farm, Freshford.

Forty-eight clubs will be represented by 172 riders, some doubly mounted, with other members working as officials and volunteers. Russellstown’s safety officer, Sean Doran, will be acting as technical delegate while those promoting female commentators in equestrian sports will be pleased to learn that the microphone will be ‘manned’ by Nuenna Farm’s public relations officer, Ailish Holohan.
