National & Home Intl. Tetrathlon Championships Grove –
August 25th, 26th & 27th
Tipperary had 18 members competing this year with 5 teams, 1 senior girls team of 3, 2 junior boys teams of 4 and 2 junior girls teams (1 of 4 and 1 of 3).
Senior Girls
The team of Romy McCarthy, Lucy O’Donnell & Zoe Stokes managed respectable scores in the shooting to kick off for the Tipps,with Romy being a late call up – thank you Romy! The girls put in good performances in the pool and did very well.
The team successfully navigated a very strong senior XC course with determination. Well done girls you were brave and hardy, as were your mounts! Running was last up on Sunday and the three girls had solid runs holding their place to finish 5th from 9 teams which was brilliant.
Romy recently was selected to represent Ireland in the FEI European Pony Championships in Hungary-a huge congratulations from us all! Lucy and Zoe having both been to the UK representing Ireland in tetrathlon in the past, were on an Irish home intl. senior girls team in tandem with the club, and finished 4th. Zoe also received the silver commendation badge for overall score achieved riding senior tetrathlon.
It is hard to pull a senior team together and we wish Aoibhinn Coady a speedy recovery after an unfortunate mishap at the eventing champs ruling her out of the competition. Big thanks to her and her Mum for marking a fence on the day and hopefully we will have her back next year.
Junior Girls
The team of Laura Ryan, Katie McCarthy, Annica O’Connor and Aoife Murphy provided a couple of very good shooting scores with Annica shooting 730 and Katie 670. Some good swimming from Laura and the team was followed with both Aoife and Katie getting a clear round XC. All the girls rode very well, the team finishing 9th- awesome effort.
The team of Leah Cohen, Jane O’Donnell and Keelan McCarthy also made a good effort at the shoot and swim then went on to have a great xc, with a clear xc from both Leah & Keelan. Again the girls handled the tough track really well. Class girls!
Jane travelled to Northern England this summer with a minimus squad representing Ireland and her team won! Aoife travelled to the U.K in June with the Irish squad in Junior tetrathlon-managing a clear XC on the day and having a great time meeting new friends in the process, she also competed on the day in the home intl. team with Jane O’Donnell and the team were 5th-well done Aoife & Jane.
Junior Boys
The team of Angus McDonald, Robert Wall, Bob Barton & Ben Coleman scored great shots from all the boys, with Robert winning an individual 2nd prize for shooting with a high score of 840. Some really sound swimming from Ben and the boys and a clear XC from Robert, a scorcher of a run from Angus and Bob (earning Angus an individual 3rd place) earned the team 6th place. Overall Angus finished 5th and Robert 7th. Great team effort from everyone. Angus was also doubled on a home intl. team and his team were placed in the juniors.
The team of John Kennedy, Yousef Sallam, Conor Walsh and David Broderick started the first phase with a fine shoot from Yousef and a very good swim from David. On to the XC and Conor Walsh had a near perfect round with just one fault and John Kennedy finishing the last section on Sunday with a run of 5.47. Great team and definitely the most photogenic!
The weekend is quite full on for both parents and athletes – but big thanks to Sophie, Cristian, Hugh, Anne, Carly, Joan and all the trainers and fence judges and fence movers and tent movers … (of course the parents) Hopefully we can keep growing our squad as we have a pool of members that could enjoy the camaraderie and fun of the whole event as well as the competition. All phases offer something for everyone challenging and the squad did us proud.
Hopefully we will see you all next year.

Please include your address and indicate in the additional info section if you wish the hat to be posted out to you.

This year we are in the process of getting new club gear for our members. There will be soft shell jackets, cross country tops, club hooded sweaters, minimus t-shirts for running and swim hats for the swimming leg.
As the gear becomes available it will appear on Its plain sailing. The club will not be keeping stock of the items (with the exception of the swim hats) and will only be ordering what has been ordered online and paid for by the deadline set on the system so please keep an eye on the dates. We will also send texts. There will be opportunity also to try the gear for sizing ahead of ordering.
The first item of gear is this soft shell. This is a fleece lined soft shell navy jacket with zip pockets and the Tipperary Pony Club Logo embroidered on the front as per the picture. Sizing as follows:
Children's Medium - Age 7-8
Children's Large - Age 9-11
Children's XL - Age 12 -13.
Adults Small
Adults Medium
The price of the 3 children's sizes is €30. The price for the 2 larger adult sizes is €40 . The difference in price is solely due to the fact that there is VAT on adult clothing which does not apply to children's clothing and this is out of the pony club's control. We have samples available in all 5 sizes for trying out. The samples will be available to try at the U12's show jumping lessons in Whitechurch starting on Thursday 2nd March and also at the stable mgmt night on March 10th.
