Raymond Jess, assisted by John Doyle, was the course designer tasked with the challenge of filling the quotas on the last day.

Connaught representative Orla Duffy and the previous RDS winner Mickybo won the 128cms division. This combination took the win from a field of 64 starters, where eight of the youngest athletes completed on a zero score. Duffy’s time of 36.47 seconds left Ciaran Nallon and The Silver Legend in second place with a fractionally slower time of 36.53. Molly Hughes Bravo and Little Miss Big Time also earned their ticket to Dublin after finishing third in 38.64.
