The league is supported by Horse Sport Ireland and the sponsor of the prize money last Saturday was Brian Cassidy. Course designer on the day was Paul Duffy and there were 56 starters, including welcome visitors from far-flung parts of the country, all aiming to show off their prowess on his course.

Sixteen combinations made it to the jump-off, which was intricate and interesting. First into the fray was Conall McLoughlin (Shannondale Sonic), who unfortunately took the wrong course and was eliminated.
