It was a glorious day for Irish showjumping as three young guns from Derry, Wicklow and Kilkenny lifted a hefty share of the €1m prize fund on offer for the five star Rolex Grand Prix of Ireland at the RDS.

Swiss Olympic ace Steve Guerdat emerged the eventual winner of the Rolex trophy and €300,000, as Ireland's Jordan Coyle on Chaccolino took second with outstanding double clears.
