MONDAY was family day at Downpatrick racecourse and it was all about family at nearby Tullymurry last Saturday for the first of two consecutive Eventing Ireland Northern Region one-day events at the Co Down venue.

Headed up by Marian Turley, the team at Tullymurry not only had everything in place for a perfect day’s sport on a beautiful day but, as ever, each member of the extended Turley and O’Connor families greeted visitors with a smile.
