TUBBERBRIDE Stables in Co Sligo provided the setting on Sunday for the Connaught Autumn Amateur Classic, which featured a total prize fund of €3,500. Despite there being just three classes on the programme, the event attracted a fantastic atmosphere, with plenty of excitement and competitive action throughout the day.

Speaking afterwards, a representative of the Connaught Region Amateur Committee said: “We are delighted with the show, which featured increased entries and the Grand Prix in memory of our late Amateur friend Jennifer Gregg Cullen. It was an honour to raise funds for SHOUT Cancer Care, while celebrating her love for competing. These events aren’t possible without the kind and generous support of sponsors, supporters, friends, family and, most importantly, the competitors who come together on occasions like this.
