THE sixth qualifier for the Connolly’s Red Mills eventing championships was hosted by the Laois Branch last Sunday at Stradbally Hall, where there was a very high completion rate among the nearly 240 starters.

There was no Open class, but two very full Intermediate sections, the first of which was landed by Carlow’s Jude Donohue, who completed on his winning dressage score with Caspers Midnight Dream.
