IT has been a long time between drinks on the Eventing Ireland front for Anita Doherty, who recorded her first win since September 2020 when landing the EI90 (Amateur) at Tullymurry last Saturday.

Doherty was the only rider to complete on her dressage score (24.8 penalties) in the 11-runner class where, having been lying third initially on Way With Words, she was soon left in front when the two ahead of her had problems in the show jumping ring.
