Friday

Gold Cup Day



Mr. Mullins takes the first 4 and might be looking for a clean sweep. Only to be foiled in the big one by Gavin Cromwell. T.S. Curling (Ireland again)won the next and going into the last race looking for an Emerald Isle clean sweep, it was won by Gordon Elliott to get that clean sweep.

On the day - Ireland 7 : 0 The Field
Running total - Ireland 20 : 8 The Field

So, after all that faff, there's only one race winner difference, but it means jjamez gets the point.
