Winner alright!

WELL done to Scarteen hunt follower Ned Fox (17), the winner of the gruelling Scarteen Hunt Cup, a cross-country race over the cream of Scarteen banks, reserved for regular Scarteen followers.

Ned romped home the winner from the 14 starters who jumped the biggest and boldest country the Scarteen had to offer.

Second over was Joe Kearns, with Sonya Purcell, secretary of the Irish Masters of Foxhounds Association, a close third.

Solicitor Oliver Ryan Purcell claimed the veteran’s prize.
