A strong class of riders in the 1.10m saw Katie Rea on Buddy, Darragh Murphy on her second mount Lexi, and Jodie Creighton on Lady all gave a super performance.

Connell Hill is an excellent venue and first class facility to school round on a Saturday morning with jumping classes to suit all levels. There is always a friendly and welcome atmosphere.
