THE prestigious five-star Longines League of Nations moved to Rotterdam in The Netherlands over the weekend for the third leg of the series, with classes running from Thursday until Sunday.

The team competition ran on Friday afternoon and High Performance Manager Jessica Kurten had selected Galway's Michael Duffy with Mister Qerly Z; Tyrone's Niamh McEvoy with BP Rocket Man (ISH), bred by Austin Broderick; Derry's Jordan Coyle with Chaccolino and Cork's Shane Sweetnam with Coriaan van Klapscheut Z to represent Ireland, with the squad being drawn eighth of the 10 teams to jump. Hopes were high after the Irish runner-up finish in Ocala.
