Rising star Allen takes individual silver in Spain
On board the grey mare Molly Malone, the Wexford 17-year-old came close to matching the colour of his 2012 European Junior Team gold medal, only to be denied by Italy’s Emanuele Massimiliano Bianchi and Cupido Z.
The pair were among only three to finish on four faults after three rounds over the weekend and went into a decider, with Allen bettering the time set by Lisa Nooren from the Netherlands on Zigo, only for his Italian rival to further reduce the target by almost a second.
