WITH many new, young members on the committee, tickets for the Ward Union hunt ball have sold out well in advance of its February 11th date when the function returns to Carton House following a near 40-year break.

While there is now a waiting list for tickets, there are still spaces available for the day’s hunt at the Co Kildare venue, particularly in the side saddle section with organisers keen to attract more riders from around the country. Well-known side saddle rider Blathnaid Feeney is the contact.
