A BRILLIANT performance from Co Clare's Eoin McMahon and the 12-year-old mare Mila saw them secure a top 10 finish today (Sunday) in the individual final at the FEI Jumping European Championships in Milan, Italy where the gold medal went to Switzerland's Steve Guerdat.

McMahon started the day in 14th place and just a fence down in each of the two rounds of the final saw him climb five places to ninth overall. It is his second consecutive top 10 finish at a European Championships following eighth place in Riesenbeck, Germany two years ago.
