A BRILLIANT performance from Nick Turner’s trio of event riders, Aoife Clark, Elizabeth Power and Sarah Ennis, earned the Irish team third place on the podium in a thrilling FEI Nations Cup at Aachen, which saw Germany’s winning stranglehold at the venue broken for the first time since the series began in 2012.

Australia won on 145.40 penalties, with Germany in second on 154.90, and the Irish team finished on a combined total of 179.90.
