Ecclesville competitors brave icy conditions

Determined riders turn up to jump at Fintona centre

The organisers of Ecclesville’s Show jumping League were pleased that competitors braved extreme weather conditions on Friday evening to jump at the Show.

The League will continue next week at 6.15pm, hopefully with better weather!
