Video Archives | Farmacaffley 2004

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 2004 season.

The Tynan and Armagh Hunt point-to-point fixture at Farmacaffley is the next meeting to be added from 2004.

Division two of the five and six-year-old geldings maiden saw Ballyhale come  home in front in the hands of Derek O’Connor carrying the familiar colours of Wilson Dennison.
