The pair were very much the main players at last Saturday’s North Kerry Harriers’ meeting at Ballybunion.

Reigning champion O’Connor, who trailed Codd by five heading into this fixture, bagged three winners and the 30-year-old opened his account for the afternoon when guiding newcomer April Dusk (7/2) to victory in the Berkie Browne Bookmakers five-year-old geldings’ maiden.
