THE second of three qualifiers for the Carr & Day & Martin Irish Pony Club winter triathlon final was hosted by the Wexford Branch last Sunday when it was run off most efficiently at The Apex, New Ross (swim phase) and the nearby Kennedy College (shoot and run).

Strict adherence to times was all-important throughout the day as there was a very big entry (the competition was oversubscribed) but, despite this, some members were able to round up cattle who had broken out from a neighbouring farmer’s field and get them all back in again.
