EIGHTEEN under 17 riders and 16 open riders took to the Green Glens arena in Milstreet last weekend for the world and European Irish team trials.

The under 17 riders battled it out before the final where just eight riders would compete. Out of the eight under 17 riders that made it through to the final stages of the trial, only five would be chosen to represent Ireland at the world team championships in July. Eoin Reavey took control early on in the final winning the first four races, giving himself a comfortable lead. His nearest rival, 17 points behind, was George Connolly followed closely by Ciaran O’Leary.
