THE Kildare Branch’s Maltesers squad returned home laden down with trophies and prizes following their team win in last weekend’s Johnson & Perrott Land Rover/Irish Pony Club minimus championships.

The mixed boys and girls’ quartet recorded a score of 10,854 points to triumph ahead of a second mixed foursome, the South Westmeath Super Stars (10,458), with another mixed team, the Wicklow Warriors, finishing third (10,448). Four other teams completed the three phases with over 10,000 points apiece.
