THE small village of Fedamore was the venue for our local pack, The Limerick Harriers, last Saturday. Sticklers for time, they were ready to move off just as the clocks struck 11am and huntsman Paudge Behan moved off with 14 and a half couple. Hounds are kennelled alongside the Fedamore Harriers, a foot pack, and Brian O’Leary acts as kennel huntsman for both as well as being Sunday huntsman to the Fedamore.

This arrangement seems to work very well and is perhaps an example for many other neighbouring packs around the country. I was interested to note that a representative couple of hounds were wearing tracking collars which could be monitored from the road.
