Marshall pulls out of nations cup squad

TURMOIL and recrimination surfaced within the Irish show jumping camp again yesterday, with Harry Marshall the latest rider to pull out of the senior nations cup squad.

The Antrim man claimed he was angry with the selection process after he failed to make the nations cup team last week at the Failte Ireland Dublin Horse Show and he also vowed: “I will never ride on a team with Cian O’Connor again.”

Asked if he expected to be on the team for Aachen in Germany later this month, he said: “They [the selectors] want me to go, but I won’t go ... I would not jump under that regime,” he said, adding “they must all resign first, I am very bitter.”
