THREE riders, who started out on different paths, partnered their first point-to-point winners last Sunday. Josh Ahern did so at a sun-kissed Ballindenisk, while Jordan Kidd and Christine Worrell were on the mark at a fog-shrouded Tinahely.

Kidd was the first of the pair to strike at the Shillelagh & District Foxhounds’ meeting, which was held at Fairwood Park, venue of the annual Tinahely Agricultural Show. There, on his seventh ride in a point-to-point and his first of the 2023/24 season, the 21-year-old landed the seven-runner open race on the French-bred Arverne.
