A BEAUTIFUL sunny afternoon was had at the Kilkenny Foxhounds fixture at Grennan on Sunday last. The ground was watered in the days before hand and a nice drop of rain Saturday provided perfect underfoot conditions.

It was a day to remember for seventeen-year-old Sean O’Keeffe from County Wexford as he secured his first ever career win on only his third ride. Sean steered his father’s Tinacurra (6/1) to success in the concluding race of the day, division two, of the Ballyhane Stud 17-year-old and upwards maiden race for novice riders.
