Ireland second in Portuguese Nations' Cup

Ireland today increased their lead in the FEI Nations' Cup rankings with a second place in Lisbon, Portugal. Today's Nations' Cup result added eight points to Ireland's overall tally, but under the 'best of seven competitions' rule, seven points from a previous competition had to be dropped, giving a net gain of one point.

With only three 2007 Nations' Cup league competitions to go (Zagreb, Athens, Buenos Aires) Ireland's show jumpers must produce a top four place in Croatia next week to copper-fasten their dominance of the league.
