THE 2024/25 point-to-point season drew to a close last Sunday with the second and final day of the Ormond Foxhounds’ annual fixture at Ballingarry. A large crowd of racegoers was welcomed by hosts, the Cahalan family, who once again provided an ideal setting for the season finale.

One of the standout success stories of the season has been the emergence of 19-year-old rider David Doyle, who capped off a breakthrough campaign in style by riding a double on the card.
