THE Co Limerick Hunt Branch of the Irish Pony Club recorded a double at last Sunday’s hugely successful Golden Vale Fun Minimus competition which was sponsored by the Boomerang Horse and Country Store.

Archie McCartan topped the overall leaderboard when amassing 3,658 points to fend off Tipperary’s Dave Hennessy (3,574) and the hosts’ Breandán Purcell (3,402) in the boys’ event. Although he lost 60 points in the concluding ride phase at Crossogue Equestrian, McCartan had earlier won (1,192) the swim phase at the Thurles Leisure Centre before dividing the spoils in the run phase at Thurles racecourse with Hennessy (1,126 apiece).
