Under the expert guidance of Michael Blake, the team—comprising Denis Lynch, Bertram Allen, Shane Sweetnam, and Cian O’Connor—dominated a world-class field to finish on a flawless zero score. Remarkably, anchor rider Cian O’Connor didn't even need to jump in round two.
Bertram Allen and Pacino Amiro demonstrated exceptional skill and confidence, jumping a double clear and finishing in the top three individually - an outstanding performance!
This victory marks Ireland's first Nations Cup win in Aachen in 14 years, a historic achievement and a significant confidence boost ahead of Paris 2024.
Mexico earned a well-deserved second place with 4 faults, while Great Britain secured third, also on 4 faults.
Next stop, Paris!
