It was just such a situation at the Galway Blazers’ meet at Aille Cross in Loughrea as for the majority of the day the Blazers hunted on Leahy family farms.

Willie Leahy is the field-master and his sons Declan and William all farm in the area, as does his daughter Dorothy and her husband Liam McAlinden, who is huntsman of the East Galway Foxhounds.
