IRELAND WINS SWEDISH NATIONS CUP
With two superb double clear rounds from Cian
O'Connor and Lt. David O'Brien, Ireland today (July 13) won the Swedish Nations
Cup at Falsterbo, beating favourites Germany into Second Place on time. Capt.
Gerry Flynn was clear in the first round, and did not need to jump again to
secure Ireland's victory.
This is a double for Chef d'Equipe Lt. Col. Gerry Mullins, who was also Chef at
Falsterbo last year when Ireland took the Nations Cup.
In Lummen, Belgium, meanwhile, the Irish team was leading after the first round
of the Nations Cup, with Japan in Second. The second round takes place later
this afternoon.
