The suspense continues as to who will win this season’s Irish Point-to-Point Riders Championship. Both Derek O’Connor and Jamie Codd have been alternating at the top of the table all season with O’Connor edging ahead last week with a season tally of 94 winners and Codd slipping slightly at 91.

O’Connor is the leading Irish point-to-point rider of all time with a remarkable 700 winners. But Jamie Codd from County Wexford will not give up easily having held the lead up to last week. This is a fascinating climax to the season which closes on June 6 at the Ormond Foxhounds meeting at Southpark, Ballingarry, County Tipperary.

Meanwhile Liz Lalor looks to have the Ladies Point to Point Riders Championship well in her grasp with 12 winners.
