The team’s high hopes of a medal came to a crashing end on Saturday, when Eric Smiley riding Macloud and Sasha Harrison on All Love Du Fenaud were eliminated following falls.

Yesterday, the two remaining riders, Kildare’s Jane O’Flynn with Kilnadeema Star and Cork rider Patricia Donegan on Don’t Step Back concluded the three-phase event with scores of eight and 17 in the showjumping to place 20th and 32nd respectively.
