Irish Masters of Beagles Association
MARYBORO/MIDLETON FOOT BEAGLESThe Maryboro Foot Beagles were established in 1956 and held their first official hunt in 1957 under their Master Paddy Sheehan.
The pack was mainly a draft from the Dummer Beagles, UK, with assistance from some local packs e.g. the Shandon, Riverstown and Midleton. The inaugural meet was held at the Fingerpost in Douglas Village. The longest serving Huntsman was Paddy's son, Patrick, who retired after the amalgamation with the Midleton Foot in 2002 and was succeeded by the current huntsman, David O'Reilly.
The club now hunts the combined countries of the two former hunts East and S.West of Cork City.
