FOR the second weekend in succession, the eventing action took place in Co Wexford where the Kearney family hosted their first fixture of the new season at Frankfort Stud, in Gorey.

As a keen enthusiast, organiser and course designer Will Kearney had been busy over the winter, and to comply both with the new safety regulations and to give a fresh look to his tracks, had completely stripped and rebuilt the fences. While the routes themselves were similar to those used last October, the entire track had been rolled a few weeks earlier, and although a touch soft in places, the going was universally described as good.
