WATERFORD’s Paul Beecher moved back to the top of the Connolly’s Red Mills Munster Grand Prix league with victory in the 15th round of the series at the Limerick/Clare Branch show in Crecora last weekend.

Not long ago it looked as though reigning champion Francis Connors was beginning to pull away at the top of the table but a brilliant run of results by Tallow-born Beecher and the eight-year-old Danqu has overturned the defecit and they now hold a seven-point lead over Connors and Capitol Cruis.
