THE Northern Region of Eventing Ireland has been beset by weather-related problems in the second half of this year with just two events running as scheduled, The Clare on July 8th and Tullymurry seven days later.

The O’Connor and Turley families came to the sport’s rescue in the Region when running Tullymurry 2 on Saturday, July 22nd and, as it turned out following the cancellation of Tattersalls, throughout the country last weekend when agreeing at a late stage to hold Tullymurry 3.
