A lovely day at Aston le Walls last Saturday May 19^th for the FOTH championships – a show jumping course with testing alternatives followed by cross country provided an interesting competition – the ECCTG Challenge 100 team of Ashley Daniel, Hannah Mulliner, Sarah Whyte and Georgia Drummond went splendidly – double clears abounded  –  but time being of the essence in this competition they were just a touch speedy, which resulted in 5^th position (3 scores to count) and 3^rd (all 4 to count) – highly respectable.  Sue O’Leary, our Challenge 90 individual, jumped an immaculate double clear and came within a whisper of a rosette – 11^th place individually – again a couple of hooves too fast.  Many congratulations to the fast ladies of the ECCTG!!

Good luck to all those competing, times are published here.
