Lynch keen to make an early impression

THE World Cup’s Western European League begins this weekend in Oslo, and Denis Lynch is taking a different approach to last year.

That’s not surprising.

The Tipperary rider cut it close in his bid to be among the finalists in Leipzig, Germany, last April, but he did so in style when winning the last qualifier in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, Lynch’s first time to claim a World Cup victory in 15 years of trying.
