LAST Saturday was a marathon one for Conor Sheridan, who went from a wedding in Westport to Kilguilkey International with a Clarecastle Show stop-off added along the way.

Conor, who works in Horse Sport Ireland’s breeding department, has doubled up as an escort at the annual Rose of Tralee, so there was a double bonus last weekend. Not only did he attend the wedding of the 2017 Sligo Rose Lisa Maloney and Barry McGuire last Friday, but he also met the 1969 Rose of Tralee winner Eileen Slattery, whose brother Michael is the Clarecastle Show chairman.
