With all four preliminary legs of the NWAL behind us we are looking forward now to the league final next Sunday. League rules state that you must take part in two preliminary legs of the league, PLUS the final, in order to be eligible for the league prizes. With the results in from the Donegal Gaeltacht run leg at Necarne yesterday, we have four members in the running for prizes in the dressage league.
Rachel is in the somewhat enviable position of having the Open Intro class to herself this year, so unless the gods conspire to keep her from competing next week she will have the prize in the bag. The RCP2 class is a whole lot more competitive, but Erica goes into the final on 7 points and could take the win if the chips fell her way on the day. Jennie is in a stronger position in this class, with 12 points to her credit, and everyone in the club will be willing both ladies on to great things. Francis is our remaining hopeful, as he heads into the final of the RCN class with 14 points on the scoreboard. This means he is currently tying with Claire Kirkwood and is just one point ahead of the remaining class contender, Emily Schneider. The riders eligible for league prizes are listed below, with the points they have on the board to date. The very best of luck to everyone on Sunday, and remember you don’t have to be eligible for prizes to come and take part and have an enjoyable day.
