NOW in his second season searching the East Galway Foxhounds, huntsman Eoghan McCabe and his crew placed on a really professionally run Puppy Show for a big group of enthusiastic spectators.
Eoghan has proved extremely popular with the farming neighborhood, offered prime class sport final season and is creating a repute as a hound breeder.
Huntsmen visiting had been Paul Scallan from the Island, Paddy Considine the County Clare, Dan Moloney from the Golden Vale and Peter Cahill, former huntsman of the Kildare Foxhounds who Eoghan whipped into for quite a few seasons.
Judging the brand new entry of three ½ couple of doghounds and 5 couple of bitches had been East Galway joint-master Niall Earls and Denis O’Sullivan, huntsman of the North Tipperary. Assisting the huntsmen had been honorary whippers-in Ann Hanniffy and Paudie Lynch, Ormond whipper-in Keith Broderick and Patrick Duffy and Darragh Kenny.
The profitable doghound was the damaged coated Goblet by East Sussex and Romney Marsh Gollum ‘17 out of East Galway Fantasy ‘19. The bitch champion was Paddle, a smashing blue mottle in colour by the same sire out of Four Burrows Pancake ‘19.
Eoghan’s hound breeding yielded outcomes on the National Hound Show at Stradbally as Goblet was fourth within the Unentered Doghound Restricted Class. Paddle was second in Stradbally along with her litter sister Passion within the Couples Open Class.
A marquee was laid on for over 100 supporters with a bar, meals and music.
