DALTON Park attracted the largest crowd of the season so far as The Holderness Hunt hosted its annual point-to-point.

The excitement in the crowd grew throughout the day following a number of close finishes and unlike the previous week's rain, the good weather meant that it was a nice day out for all to enjoy.
