FOR the first time, a hound show was incorporated into Sunday’s schedule of the Flavours of Fingal Show at Newbridge House and, if the large and ever changing number of spectators can be used as a guide, it proved an outstanding success.

The hound show was organised by John Lyons along with Fingal Harriers’ joint-Masters Brian Beggan and Helena Dawson, the latter doing an excellent job as announcer/commentator. There were two well-placed showing rings, one for foxhounds and the other for beagles.
