THE Irish quartet of Charlotte Houston (Toscane Davair), Aisling McGuinness (Calimero), Orla Duffy (Atlanta) and Ella Quigley (Clemens 43) kept the tricolour in the air as they finished in second place in the Nations Cup at Chevenez in Switzerland.

The team finished on a total score of 13 points, just a point off the winning Dutch team. After the first round, just one point separated the teams, but with both teams finishing the second round on eight faults, victory went to the The Netherlands.
