IRISH show jumpers Denis Lynch and Billy Twomey got their World Cup off to a solid start in Leipzig, Germany, yesterday, with the pair finishing fourth and sixth respectively in the opening competition at the show.

Both riders produced first-round clears, with Lynch and Abbervail vanhet Dingeshof picking up a single time fault, while Twomey and Tinka’s Serenade ended with two faults. Lynch also placed 10th with All Inclusive NRW on three faults.

Nottinghamshire-based Corkman Twomey qualified with ease for the final, while German-based Tipperary rider Lynch only booked his place by winning the last qualifier.
