07/08/08 HORSE Sport Ireland Team Manager Robert Splaine this afternoon (Thursday) named the Irish team that will compete in tomorrow's crucial Aga Khan competition at the Failte Ireland Dublin Horse Show.

The Irish, who are drawn last to jump of eight teams, will line out in the following order:

Denis Lynch: Nabab's Son
Jessica Kurten: Castle Forbes Libertina
Eddie Macken: First Tedechine Sept
Cian O'Connor; Rancorrado

Splaine said: "This is the last round of the Samsung Super League before the Barcelona Final, and of course it is vital that we produce the best possible result. But I believe we have assembled for Dublin one of the strongest teams Ireland has fielded in this 2008 series, and I am expecting a performance that will do us all proud."


Ireland currently lies seventh of the world's best eight teams who make up the Super League, but Sweden, currently in the relegation spot, are only five points behind.

British team look strong !

Peter Charles - Rupert R
Tim Gredley - Omelli
Robert Smith - Vangelis S
Nick Skelton - Arko III

Could almost have been the British Olympic team if things had changed just ever so slightly
