THE Bucas Secondary Schools Jumping League final had a very chilly start to the day at Killossery Lodge Stud last Sunday and proceedings got under way with the individual class.

Loreto St Micheal’s representative Ciara Maguire, riding the ever consistent Urrachree Briana, who was in the lead in the league, unfortunately had a pole down in the first round. School mate Susanna Mullen and Trydgaser kept Loreto Navan in the prize line-up with a finish time of 41.33, good enough to finish eventual fifth. Belvedere’s David Dowse finished slightly slower with Balackhall Blossom in a time of 43.42.
