Novice Nations Cup Team Takes Fifth In Podebrady

WITH only one member a previous Nations Cup competitor, the Irish team competing in the Czech Nations Cup at Podebrady today (Friday) finished a very creditable fifth of 12 teams competing.

Though not a part of the Samsung Super League series, the fixture at Podebrady nevertheless proved a valuable testing ground for young Irish riders, several of whom have had minimal international experience, and with only Carl Hanley having competed at this level before.

Chef d'Equipe Lt. Col. Gerry Mullins said afterwards: <We have every reason to be proud of this result today, with what was very much a novice Nations Cup team. It has become increasingly obvious that the best way to prepare for the seasons ahead is to give the younger riders a taste of these elite competitions, and I think they acquitted themselves extremely well today. It certainly augurs well for the future that we can come out here and produce such a result.>

Carl Hanley also took a third in the 140cm class earlier in the day, riding the eight yr old bay mare <Nadja>.
