Northern runners seek Ballymacad success as point-to-point season kicks off

DAVID Christie, Liam Lennon and Graham McKeever could well have the first northern-trained runners of the 2020/21 point-to-point season which gets under way tomorrow at 2pm. The first pair have, respectively, entered David Kells’s Menindee and Lynne Burns’s Carlotalin for the opening four-year-old mares’ maiden at the Ballymacad Foxhounds’ meeting in Oldcastle while McKeever has entered his own Rocked Up in a similar maiden at the Ormond Foxhounds’ fixture in Ballingarry.
