Lynch up to second in World Cup table

SHOW jumper Denis Lynch has risen to second in the Rolex World Cup league table following his fifth place with Abbervail van het Dingeshof in Mechelen, Belgium, yesterday.

At the outset of the indoor season, Lynch had set himself a target of qualifying early for April’s final in ’s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, having left it until the last round to book his place in the 2011 showcase. Yesterday’s performance guarantees he has achieved his goal.

Lynch was among eight riders to progress to the jump-off from a starting line-up of 38 that saw 15 nations represented.
