THE Cork and Waterford point-to-point committees do excellent work in keeping people informed through their Facebook pages but one very busy individual is the Bandon mascot and icon Hamish McTevish who could pop up anywhere! The page is administered by three lady members of the committee who decided to leave Hamish out of the sun-drenched photograph of the point-to-point course on Wednesday opting instead to use that of six-year-old Ross O’Driscoll on one of the fences.

Ross, who is the youngest of four children of meeting secretary Catherine O’Driscoll (nee O’Donovan) and husband Brian, goes racing every weekend and is very much an expert on form and bridle cleaning. Both he and his mother are hoping that the sun stays out for tomorrow’s Carbery Foxhounds’ meeting, the only point-to-point in the country this Sunday.
