THE Ward Union Hunt held a hound exercise morning last Saturday at the Man O’War pub in north Co Dublin where, with a later start time, the number of participants doubled that of last year.

That first staging of the exercise morning at the Man O’War was held in tribute to the late Graham Quinn, in whose memory a donation from Saturday’s cap was made towards one of his favourite causes, Skerries Youth Support Services. Hunt chairman Colm Byrne presented the donation to SYSS founder, Michael Matthews.
