AS one of the few handlers operating out of Co Fermanagh, nobody targets the annual two-day Necarne fixture as strongly as David Christie. Almost all of the darts that the Derrylin operator had to throw at the board hit their mark, including the successful return to the pointing fields of Winged Leader.

A winner at the rare autumn fixture to have been held at this venue last September, John Hegarty’s seven-year-old has spent much of the season keeping high company in the hunter chase sphere, where he was recently among the winners at Tramore.
