Club chairperson Dean O’ Neill said,

The TRI Equestrian Eventing Championships is a major highlight in the clubs Border event calendar each year as our members work hard and are dedicated to their sport throughout the year.

“The success of the team comes from loyal and seasoned members Caroline Mc Quillan and Laura Murphy Finn both who have been on many of our winning teams down through the years. Their positivity and love of the sport encourages many new members to join our club and be part of winning teams, where we had Gemma Kelly on her second team and Liz Thompson competing at the championships for the first time. On behalf of the club I would like to thank the AIRC and all at Lisgarvan House for a great event,” he added.
