AFTER much build-up, the stage is now set for tomorrow’s Meath & Tara point-to-point at their new venue of Dowth Hall, which is on the western side of the M1, mid-way between the Junction 10 turn-off and Slane.

There is title sponsorship from the Belfast-headquartered international agri-technology company Devenish Nutrition whose executive chairman, Owen Brennan, owner of the Co Meath estate, has presented the revamped Dowth Hall Cup to the two hunts for the opening James Gogarty Stone four-year-old maiden. This has attracted an excellent entry of 37 geldings.
