History

Founded in 1890, they were originally designated as harriers before assuming the dual mandate of foxhounds and harriers in the 80s and continuing to hunt in green. Their founding master was Major Hickman of Fenloe House, who was also a great racing man. Fenloe continued its racing connection under the ownership of the late Tom Costello, who produced five Gold Cup winners including Best Mate, surely a record which will never be beaten. Jimmo Quinn later became master and huntsman before passing over to Gerry Burke and Matty Green among others.
