The  Foran Equine RC70/RC80 Team Jumping Championship West Leinster Qualifier, generously sponsored by Foran Equine, took place on 10 May 2025 at Coilóg Equestrian. The event was hosted by the West Leinster Region with the kind permission of Chris Byrne. A well-designed and thoughtfully constructed course by David Byrne delivered an exciting challenge to riders throughout the day.

By the end of Round 1, both Killcarrick and Abbeylands teams were tied at the top on zero faults, with Rathfarnham close behind on 4 faults. Round 2 brought no relief in the intensity, as all three front-running teams remained within striking distance of each other.

Ultimately, it came down to time to decide the winner. Both Killcarrick and Rathfarnham completed the competition on a total of 8 faults. However, the Killcarrick team claimed the win with a combined time closer to the optimum, demonstrating consistency and composure under pressure.

Sincere thanks to the judges, stewards, volunteers, and all participating clubs for making the day a successful and enjoyable occasion for all involved
