THE County Limerick Hunt brought their 2025/2026 season to a lively close on February 21st, concluding not only their final day in the hunting field, but also the much-anticipated tallying of their ‘Tumblers Club’. Members spent the evening gingerly reviewing the number of falls they had endured throughout the season, knowing each unplanned dismount would cost them €5. Their collective misfortune proved worthwhile: the club raised €510 for Down Syndrome Ireland, donating the full amount to the charity’s Limerick branch.

To mark the end of the season, members gathered in Houlihan’s Bar in Kilmallock, on the eve of the closing meet, where presentations were made to the riders who had racked up the most tumbles.
