The Irish weather can be frustrating at times and it certainly was for Ciaran Glynn last Friday as he constantly received reports of rain and heavy showers all around north Co Dublin, while not a drop fell at Killossery Lodge Stud.

The venue staged its third and final Eventing Ireland one-day event of the season on Saturday and while the ground was hard, riders appreciated that course designer Glynn and his team had done everything they could do to have it level.
