Show jumping plan to be revealed Monday

THE new management team for Irish international show jumping will be officially unveiled on Monday, according to the Equestrian Federation of Ireland (EFI).

It will see Robert Splaine installed as the team manager and Commandant John Ledingham as the chairman of selectors, while the identity of the two advisors will also be revealed.

Monday’s announcement should end the rampant speculation concerning the set-up and, in particular, Splaine’s accession to the manager’s post.
