DUHALLOW Foxhounds’ opening meet at Kilbrin provided the backdrop for a very special occasion. Dr Jack Bourke, the long-time GP and dispensary doctor in Newmarket, Co Cork, recently celebrated his 100th birthday having hunted with the Duhallow for 92 seasons.

Duhallow decided to mark the occasion by presenting the good doctor with a collage of photos recording his days in the hunting field. One showed him as a recently qualified doctor during the war hunting from a meet at Kilbrin.
