The Jumpinaction.net Secondary Schools Show Jumping League got off to an early start with a very rainy autumn day last Sunday at Killossery Lodge Stud, Swords. Proceedings got under way with the individual class where Ciara Maguire of St Michael’s, Navan, with the consistent Urrachree Briana made sure of the winner’s spot when she crossed the line in an unbeatable 27.74 seconds.

Jed Collins of Belvedere College had a real try and crossed the line in 28.75, good enough for second. Kate Horgan from Loreto St Stephen’s Green was next in on Ted and, while they went as fast as they could, their time of 29.89 saw them take third spot. Molly Mooney from Dominican Wicklow with Marlton Sunset was fourth, while fifth and sixth were filled by Dunshaughlin’s Ellen McGrath (Rusty) and Elle Collins (Morning Starlite) from Presentation Thurles respectively.
