Punchestown 2025 - A roaring success!

Sun shines on the Hurling Section Corporate Race Day!

On what was a gloriously sunny day, members, friends and guests enjoyed a bumper Punchestown Festival on Tuesday 29 April. This was a fabulous occasion, with guests treated to an excellent four course silver service lunch, complimentary wine, some great prizes in the Raffle and - of course - great racing! There was also the keenly anticipated Best Dressed Ladies and Gentlemen Competition. To add to the excitement on the day, there was seriously intense bidding in the Hurling Section Auction

More to follow. In the meantime, some images of the day below!

A special note of thanks! Normally one of the organisers-in-chief at Punchestown for the Hurling Section Race Day is Karen Beggins. Karen was indisposed this year ('though ably deputised for by Katie!), but asked us to pass on a huge "Thank You" to Rachel Hynes, Caroline Little and Sinéad Carey, for everything they did in her absence on the day. Míle buíochas!

Tá muid ag tnúth go mór cheana féin le Punchestown 2026!
