BORDER Counties weren’t represented in The Irish Field team challenge at the recent AIRC Festival but made up for that lapse when winning the Connolly’s Red Mills regional team qualifier at Killossery Lodge Stud last Sunday.

Traditionally one of the strongest teams in this discipline in the North East Region, the Co Monaghan-based Border Counties club won on a combined score of 424.16% with Castle Hill finishing second (421.49) ahead of Drynam One (414.09). All riders on the day rode in two tests.
