THE strength of inter-schools show jumping was very evident in Barnadown Equestrian Centre last Sunday, with 40 teams competing in the three team competitions. Coláiste Bhríde, Carnew, was delighted to host the sixth round of the TRI Equestrian Inter-schools League.

In the open team competition, John Doyle’s track reduced the starting 18 teams to a seven-team jump-off. In an exciting jump-off, the duo of Aoife Murphy and Catherine Kavanagh returned home on four faults in a time of 88.50 seconds. Representing Borris Vocational School, they were joined by Claire Kavanagh and James Kavanagh.
