WITH the season winding down, your correspondents have been on the move. But on Saturday, we didn’t move very far, as our local pack, the Co Limericks, were meeting at nearby Lough Gur. It was to be their penultimate meet to finish a very successful season.

However, it was not without incident and our huntsman Fergus Stokes was nursing an eye injury. He was out, but on foot, complete with sunglasses for the day and he had handed the horn to first whipper-in David Beecher. Six foot tall in his socks, David cuts an impressive figure, a stylish rider, a consummate hound man and a gentleman both on and off a horse.
