Preparations started early again for the another event in Kilguilkey’s busy calendar. After last weeks successful International, it was on to Kilguilkey’s second national of 2018. The continuing heatwave meant that watering the course commenced at 4am on Sunday morning, to ensure that the track was prepared.
