Show Jumping - O'Connor Takes Second In La Baule Derby

THE IRISH KEPT up their unrelenting pressure at La Baule, today (Saturday) in advance of tomorrow's Nations Cup Superleague clash. Kildare's Cian O'Connor once again delivered a strong message about Irish confidence at the French venue with a convincing Second Place in the La Baule Derby on <Irish Independent Casper>. Coming so quickly after Billy Twomey's decisive Grand Prix win last night at La Baule, and a clutch of Irish Firsts and Top Five places over the last few
days, the seven opposing nations lined up for tomorrow's major competition must surely be feeling less and less certain of an easy victory.
