ALTHOUGH the autumn season in the southern region doesn’t kick off until the Duhallow meeting at Dromahane on Sunday, October 25th, it’s good to see that hunts in the region dominate the early action of the ‘spring’ campaign according to the fixture list published this week by The Turf Club (See C7).

There are 82 meetings scheduled, starting at Dromahane on Wednesday, December 30th and finishing on Monday, June 6th with the second session of the Ormond two-day fixture at Ballingarry, Roscrea.
