Over the coming weeks, we will be adding videos to some of the old point-to-point fixtures that we have on file. The next year we are adding videos from is the 2001 season.
The Westmeath Foxhounds point-to-point at Castletown-Geoghegan in 2001 is the next meeting to be added to our video archives.
Below gives a brief re-cap of what happened on the day.
J D Moore got off to a good start when winning the opening mares open at the Westmeath Foxhounds point-to-point fixture at Castletown-Geoghegan aboard Kerrys Cross. Kerrys Cross won six point-to-point races in total.
