Babington Wins King George V Cup In Irish Whitewash At Hickstead

While Ireland failed to win the British Nations Cup at Hickstead, England, on Friday, Ireland's Kevin Babington, from Carrick-on-Suir, took the show's individual crown today (Sunday) by winning the coveted King George V Gold Cup on the Irish-bred <Carling King>. The last Irish rider to do so was Cameron Hanley in 2000.

Babington also rode the only double clear of the Cup, making it a truly decisive win, and taking prize money of £10,000 sterling into the bargain.

But the Irish also dominated the Top Five places in the competition, with Peter Charles taking Fourth, and Billy Twomey Fifth. Ireland's Clem McMahon also took a 12th place.
