For the second time in as many rounds, Waterford’s Francis Connors and the Hilda Anthony-owned Uskerty Diamond Lady grabbed the winner’s prize in the Connolly’s Red Mills Munster Grand Prix league, this time in the fifth round of the series at Charleville Show in Co Cork.

The same partnership were victorious in the fourth round at West Clare and they were in devastatingly good form again in Charleville, in a tight competition that saw less than a second and a half separate the top five finishers.
