Jumping - Four Irish In Top 20 Of Young Rider European Championships
|
WITH
a great deal of preparation, including warm-up Nations Cups in both
France and Italy, the Irish Young Rider team made more than a creditable
showing at the Le Touquet Young Riders European Championships this
week, finishing with four placings in the Individual Top 20 today
(Sunday).
Under
Chef d'Equipe John Ledingham, the Irish riders came tantalisingly
close to a bronze medal in the team event on Friday, finishing just
one point short of Third, and today drew on reserves of skill and
stamina to steer themselves into the Top 20 in the Individual Championships,
with Mayo's Carl Hanley ending as the best of the Irish with an
Eighth on <Ally McBeal>, while Derry's Ryan Crumley improved
dramatically from Friday's score to take 12th on <Baltimore>.
Michael
Kearins and Louise Walsh were the other two Top 20 Irish finishers,
while the winner's medal went to Germany's Caroline Muller on a
remarkable total of just 1.35 faults.
