Show Jumping - Shaky Start For Ireland In Nations Cup Super League

IRELAND got off to a shaky start in the Nations Cup Super League with a joint sixth place at La Baule, France today (Friday).

The Irish team, under Chef d'Equipe Tommy Wade, will be hoping to improve its performance substantially when it moves to Rome on May 28, if it is to maintain its top three placing in the overall league table. With the Olympics looming, it will be essential for Ireland to rack up significant points before six of its main riders decamp to Athens.

Upset of the day was the 37 total faults recorded by veteran Irish rider Peter Charles with <Pershing>, and with only one team clear round from Kevin Babington on <Carling King> there was not enough good news on the scoreboard to allow Ireland to recover lost ground.

Germany won the Super League at La Baule, with France second, and Belgium third.
