CHEVAL Riding Club’s annual pre-Festival show was held last Sunday at Jordanstown, Oldtown where Kilcarrick’s Alva Gunne narrowly denied Drynam’s Sophie Marks a hat-trick of victories in the ridden championship.

Gunne progressed to the title decider by winning the lightweight hunter class on The Duchess Of Allen. “I’m only finding my way with Duchess having come off the great schoolmaster (Silver) Skippy!” said Gunne.
