BELGIUM pipped Ireland to the post to secure a back-to-back double when coming out on top in the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup of Poland at the seaside town of Sopot in Poland last Sunday morning.

Rodrigo Pessoa fielded a team with plenty of experience, despite Peter Moloney making only his second five-star Nations Cup appearance and first on a Division 1 points-scoring team. Action went right down to the wire when Ireland and Belgium were tied on four faults after two rounds, with Pieter Devos securing it for the Belgian team.
