Irish Open Sheffield With Top Ten Places

BILLY Twomey and Peter Charles - both shortlisted for the Irish Olympic team - started the British Open Show Jumping Championships at Sheffield tonight (Thursday) in fighting mood, clocking up three Top Ten places in the first two competitions.

Twomey and the ten yr-old mare <Anastasia lll> took a Third in the speed class, while a short time later the Cork-born rider was sixth in the British Masters with <Whinnie Jackson>. Peter Charles, meanwhile, took fifth in the same competition with the eight yr-old chestnut gelding <Rockstar>. Both riders made it through to the jump-off in the Masters, and both registered double clear rounds.

Twomey and Charles have their top string of horses at the four star event in Sheffield, which runs until Sunday.
