AMONG those working at the Carlow Farmers’ point-to-point at Borris House on Sunday was locally-based Paddy Cleary, well-known producer of young sports horses along with his fiancé Kathy Charlton.

As she had her appendix out just two weeks earlier, it wasn’t surprising to discover that Kathy had stayed at home on Sunday. However, it was amazing to learn that she had been out hunting the previous Wednesday when the Carlow Farmers held a joint meet with the Laois Foxhounds at Killeshin.
