horse Show Jumping - Irish Pair In Top Five At La Baule Jump-Off

IRISH RIDERS kept up the pressure at La Baule, France, this afternoon, following Cian O'Connor's win in this morning's speed class.

O'Connor again put in a sterling performance in the big jump-off class, the PRIX DIANE BARRIERE DESSEIGNE, leading the field until French and Italian aces Michel Robert and Bruno Chimirri shaved seconds off Irish Independent Casper's time of 44.40.

Billy Twomey on his new mount <Luidam>, took fifth in the same class, with another double clear and a time of 44.89.

The Nations Cup competition - first in the 2003 Superleague - takes place on Sunday.

<<We're up against some very stiff opposition here, >> said 23 yr-old Kildare-born O'Connor after his jump-off class this evening, <<but our confidence is building. Nations Cup points on Sunday are essential to keep us in this race.>>
