The eventual winners were Coláiste Bhride Carnew with the fastest two clear jump-off rounds, with Lilian Shaw and Emma Kinsella on board, in 87.08 seconds. Second place went to Presentation Wexford with Lauren Reck and Emily Roche jumping clears in a slower time of 100.05. Third went to Gorey Community School, with Lauren Spencer and April Haxby stepping up to the plate but, at 103.26, they didn’t make the time to place higher. Fourth was Presentation’s red team, with Glenart joining Creagh College for fifth and Loreto Wexford placing sixth.
