EARLIER this month, Biffy Booth stood down as Area 17 Games Co-Ordinator at the end of her three-year tenure but while she is now concentrating on her role as joint-Assistant District Commissioner of the Iveaghs, she would have been delighted to see the East Antrim Branch land the Junior team competition at last weekend’s Northern Zone mounted games final in Scotland.

The East Antrims won the concluding flag race which saw them finish on 44 points, just ahead of Morpeth Hunt A (43) with the Strathearn Branch back in third (37). In the Senior team event, the East Antrims finished eighth (18 points) behind Strathearn A (52) while in the pairs’ competition, the Strathearn Branch again claimed the honours (53.5) with the East Antrims back in sixth (41).
