Division two of The Ballyhooly Racing Club Maiden Hurdle saw an easy winner in Tribes and Banner from the Charlie Swan stable in the hands of David Casey for owners Kill Be Canty Syndicate.

Winning trainer Swan said afterwards, “David has some hands that horse is so free he gave him a great ride, he jumped great and he won well. He is a relation of Cloone River’s. He loves fast ground and David rode him on the outside to get the best of the ground. He loves fast ground and we’ll keep him on the go for the summer.”
