On Saturday, August 5, Portmore hosted the Five-Star and Youngster Tour qualifier, which saw a very good turnout. Competitors were happy to receive their lovely rosettes, kindly sponsored by Michelle McIlhatton and also the winners received a lovely rug, sponsored by Huntingdale Farm (Savanagh Marshall).
