The final point-to-point fixture of 2025 takes place tomorrow (Sunday) with the Ballinagore Harriers at Ballycrystal, Kiltealy, where the track is in safe order but the going will be ‘yielding, soft in places’.
First race is at 12 noon.
4-5mms of rain fell on the track on Friday and another 4-5mms is expected on Saturday night- Sunday morning, but the six-race card will go ahead as planned.
There are 102 entries and the stage is set for a good day’s sporting action.
