BANDON & CAREYS CROSS

Another new field for me to visit this year.  Ive been told many times its a steep  climb but nothing prepares you for the climb to the top of the field.  Thanks go out to Darragh Russell for his help with carrying my stuff!

A Great meeting that went off well with super hares to back it up......Looking at results I could have been in Ballyduff,  as the Kerrymen set out with a fair plunder of the silver!

only a walk to the top will tell you how steep the Climb

RATHKEALE PHOTOS

I visited this Field on Saturday and was treated to some great coursing despite the wet conditions.  There was no surprise in todays winners. Peace and Ease looked a class do on his early run this season  and Killeagh Chaser looked impressive yesterday.

Blades Of Steel could be the real deal and must be one to watch for clonmel, Cooga Star was unlucky to meet her as she is surely good enough to take her ticket.

Bythewindsailor looked to stamp his mark on this Cup yesterday and its nice to see Kathleen back picking up a trophy
