TEAM Randox, captained by Paul Townend, emerged as the winners of this year’s HRI Thoroughbred Classic Cup at the annual Treo Eile Christmas Show, narrowly beating Gavin Cromwell’s team led by Mark Walsh in a nail biting jump-off decider.

While there was lots of final round drama, three teams posted zero-fault jump off scores but not for catching were the pair of Townend and pony rider Emily Flavin-Redmond.
