Ireland wins Norway Nations Cup Ireland wins Norway Nations Cup

IRELAND were triumphant on the last day (Sunday) of the four-star show in Drammen, Norway, with victory in both the Norway Nations' Cup and the Drammen Grand Prix.

In a tightly-fought finish, Ireland shared first place in the Nations' Cup with Norway, both teams finishing on eight faults. But team manager Robert Splaine sent Malahide-based Conor Swail out to do battle on 'Rivaal' against Norway's Geir Gulliksen on 'L'Espoir' to decide the outright winner, and Swail jumped clear, while Gulliksen had one fence down, giving Ireland the trophy.
