IRISH show jumpers enjoyed a successful weekend at the five-star Global Champions Tour in Madrid, Spain, when both Darragh Kenny and Denis Lynch claimed victories.

Lynch’s win came in the final class of the show, the 1.50m Kings Cup Volvo Trophy. Riding the Rushy Marsh Farm-owned 14-year-old stallion RMF Echo (Virus de Laubry x Feo), the Tipperary native was one of 12 combinations to make it through to the jump-off and pulled out all the stops to take over the lead in a time of 37.37 with just three combinations to go.
