DENIS Currie stepped away from the heady world of amateur eventing to go on holiday last weekend but there was still an excellent turn-out of nine starters for Saturday’s EI110 (Amateur) at Tullymurry.

The ding-dong league battle between Nichola Wray and Britt Megahey continued with the former claiming the honours on this occasion when completing on the winning dressage score she was awarded by Coreen Abernethy for her test on her nine-year-old Lislap Benedict gelding Dylan AKA Springhill Showman (31.3 penalties). Being a second over the time in the show jumping ring didn’t affect Megahey’s runner-up position with R Showman (33.9).
