THREATENING clouds failed to produce expected rain as over 100 people were welcomed by Master Pat Walsh to the annual Island Hunt Puppy Show at their Clearistown kennels.

The Scallan family have a great setting in their well-kept front garden and huntsman Paul and his helpers produced young hounds in excellent condition. The puppies showed well and were bold despite most of them being barely a year old. They looked fit and well and all involved deserve great credit.
