Kevin Babington - clarification

IN Friday’s equestrian column, in an interview with top Irish show jumper Kevin Babington, it was stated that: “Babington said he could see no reason why Splaine should be chef d’equipe” to the Irish team.

This is incorrect and should have read that: Babington said he could see no reason why Splaine should not be chef d'equipe.

In the interview Babington went on to say: "I like Robert. He's a good horseman. I've ridden on many teams with him and I think he could be good as chef d'equipe."

We are glad to clarify this for Mr Babington and apologise to him and Mr Splaine for the inaccuracy.
