DESPITE torrential rain and wind knocking out the electricity and working from generators, the TRI Equestrian Interschools Showjumping went ahead in the friendly atmosphere of the Galway Equestrian Centre on St Patrick’s Day.

Five teams competed in the open team event with both Borris Vocational School and Newbridge College travelling from early morning for the 9am start, with local teams Presentation Headford, Salerno and Calasanctius also competing.
