THERE was just one five-star fixture on over the weekend - The Dutch Masters at ‘s-Hertogenbosch in The Netherlands ran from Thursday, March 12th until Sunday, March 15th, with Denis Lynch representing Ireland against some very stiff competition.

Lynch and Brooklyn Heights placed seventh in the five-star 1.50m Winning Round class on Sunday. From the start list of 31, the best 12 combinations were due to jump again, with one of those opting to withdraw from the Winning Round. Five pairs managed to keep the poles intact in round two, with Lynch and his mount picking up an unfortunate four faults.
