SUNDAY’s South Munster Region show at Maryville featured the opening leg of the O’Brien’s Saddlery League, the sixth round of which will take place on June 18th with the final being held on July 5th.

The best supported class of the day was the nine-runner Novice 24a judged by Faith Ponsonby (List 2A) whose comfortable overall winner was Diane Dowling riding Cliona Ni Liathain’s unregistered MJI Lady Alceis (73.17%). This 12-year-old ISH mare by Antaeus was bred in Co Antrim by List 1 judge Joanne Jarden out of Thistledown (by Island Blaze).
