The biggest field of the season so far have declared for action, with a huge 58 horses and riders on the start-list, including league-leader Francis Connors and Uskerty Diamond Lady.
Cork’s  Alan O Regan currently lies in second spot with Electric Feel, 13 points behind the leader, but with the series yet to reach the halfway point everything is still to play for.
The fifth round of the FBD Speed Series will kick off the action at Ballinamona, a competition which has proved a huge hit with spectators. Waterford’s Paul Beecher and Tipperary’s Liam O Meara have been the standout performers in the FBD Speed Series so far with two wins apiece and both riders will line out again this weekend at the Waterford venue.

The series kicked off at Aglish Gymkhana in May with a win for Meath’s Gerard Clarke before Tipperary’s Seamus Hayes landed the second leg at Middleton Show.

However both of these riders are absent from the Ballinamona start-list, giving those with title ambitions an oportunity to take advantage.

Spectators at the Waterford venue will have plenty of locals to support, regining Connolly’s RED Mills league champion Francis Connors, National Champion Paddy O Donnell and former Hickstead Derby winner Paul Beecher, are just some of the riders from the deise taking part, although they will have a fight on their hands with National Grand Prix league champion Greg Broderick and an in-form Liam O Meara also among the favourites.

The Connolly’s RED MILLS Munster Grand Prix at Ballinamona gets underway at 2pm on Sunday.
