LAST weekend’s three fixtures at Ballingarry and Tattersalls brought to a close yet another busy point-to-point season. Following one of the most disruption-free seasons in recent years 12 months ago, when 99 fixtures were completed, five fewer fixtures took place this time around, with 94 completed fixtures.

Despite that slight drop, it was a season which featured plenty of positive signs. The average number of entries increased this season to 115, which is a positive for hunt committees, whilst with a total of 5,003 runners throughout the season, the average number of runners per fixture also increased when compared to the 2024/25 campaign.
