SLIGO’s Richard Kerins landed the spoils in Friday’s 1.35m EuroConn Insulation & Dry Lining Connaught Grand Prix at Galway County Show, held at Duffys Equestrian Centre.

Sponsored on the day by the O’Connell family, 38 combinations started in the class, which was the first of three Grands Prix over the three days, and eight of those managed to keep a clean sheet to progress to the jump-off round.
