CORK’s Shane Sweetnam jumped a fantastic clear round for his Global Champions League team, the Shanghai Swans, to help them finish third in the fifth round of the league in Hamburg, Germany.

Sweetnam rode the grey mare Indra van de Oude Heihoef to a clear on day one and a horse switch to his European medal-winning mount Chaqui Z saw him produce a second clear round. His teammate, Pius Schwizer, picked up a single time fault followed by four faults with Living The Dream, the gelding formally ridden by Ireland’s Cameron Hanley.
