The last event of the season, the Point to Point, was held last Sunday 29th of April 2012. There was great entries and the racing was very competitive. The Ballymacad Hunt wish to thank the Cosgrove Family for their continued support. Two weeks earlier the Hunter Trials took part at Balinlough on the 15th of April 2012. Thanks to Joe Brady for his support too.Both events were a great success. Not a bad note to finish the season off on.

Photos of both events are up our gallery page. Tony Parkes was at the hunter trials and these can be viewed on his web site. Also Jane Shackleton has posted
