THE prolonged spell of wet weather continues to provide a significant challenge to point-to-point committees and handlers alike, with a depleted programme of fixtures this weekend beginning this afternoon at Curraghmore.

That fixture has been postponed by six days, having been found to be unfit for racing last week, and it will be the only point-to-point today, with the course at Taylorstown also found to be unfit for racing ahead of the Newry fixture.
