The Irish Show Jumping Team produced a magnificent display in Aachen, Germany, in the final top-level outing before the Olympic Games in Park, to win the five-star Rolex Nations Cup.

Michael Blake’s team of Denis Lynch, Bertram Allen, Shane Sweetnam and Cian O'Connor dominated to finish on a zero score and win without anchor rider O'Connor needing to jump in round two.
