BORRIS Vocational School from Co Carlow had fantastic results at the Hurst College National School Show Jumping Championships held in Hickstead last weekend. The senior team of Catherine Kavanagh (Coppenagh Blitz), Patrick Doyle (Boley Boy), Claire Kavanagh (Clonagoose Daniel Dubh) and Aoife Murphy (Garrynadruig Turbo) took victory in the international arena.

The course was technical and challenging and just nine of the 40 competitors jumped clear. With three scores to count, the Borris team put in a superb performance to finish on a zero score to seal victory. Former winners, Wellington College and Millfield School, finished joint-second with eight faults.
