Twomey triumphs in Belgium

BILLY TWOMEY proved his dependability yesterday when winning the nations cup for Ireland at the five-star show in Lummen, Belgium.

The Corkman was the Irish standard bearer with Tinka’s Serenade in a jump-off after his double clear was matched by Denis Lynch (Abbervail Van Het Dingeshof) and Shane Breen (Carmena) to leave the team equal with Australia on a zero tally.

In a head-to-head, Twomey kept a clean sheet for the third time, while Australian Chris Chugg four-faulted with Vivant.
