Faultless Kerins helps Irish ease relegation fears with Swedish win

IRELAND’S show jumpers fulfilled the promise they proffered all season by winning the Meydan Swedish Nations Cup in Falsterbo yesterday.

US-based Sligo man Darragh Kerins, riding Night Train, was the main player of the Irish performance, producing one of only two double clears in the contest.

Ireland were joint second at the half-way stage on nine faults, five coming from Cameron Hanley on Livello and four from Denis Lynch with Lantinus, but both matched Kerins with zero tallies next time out to leave the team total untouched on nine.
