Show Jumping - Kerrygold Grand Prix League - O'Brien Takes Victory At Cavan

HARRY MARSHALL did not make his expected challenge to the Top Six in the Kerrygold Grand Prix leaderboard at Cavan today (Sunday), but left the honours instead to Army rider Lt. David O'Brien, who followed his recent Galway Grand Prix win with another First on the Minister for Defence's 14 yr old bay gelding <Carraig Dubh>.

This victory now leapfrogs Athlone-born O'Brien over Army team-mate Lt. Shane Carey in the Kerrygold rankings. After his win, Lt. O'Brien said: <I am absolutely delighted with my horse's performance here today. Galway last week and now Cavan today shows in what good form he is at the moment. It's been a terrific day.>

A Sixth for James Kernan on <Out of Touch> further consolidated his No.1 position in the Grand Prix League, with his score now standing at 40 points, four clear of Andrew Dunlop. Former league leader Clem McMahon holds onto his third place on 35 points, but after today's win, Lt. David O'Brien is now just half a point behind him.
