GRACE Maxwell Murphy has become the first ever winner of the Marjory Kennedy hunting trophy, awarded by the Side Saddle Association of Ireland (SSAI).

The trophy was donated to the SSAI by the Kennedy family of Co Limerick in honour of their late mother Marjory, who hunted side saddle her entire life alongside her husband George, who was master of the Stonehall Harriers from 1956 until 1990.
