Thank you to Paul's family, firstly for giving Knockagh View the honour of running this league and for joining everyone on Wednesday night to present the special awards in memory of Paul. The winner of the perpetual cup was Emily Creagmile and the other special award went to Rhianne McFall, who picked up a fantastic prize of a lesson with the Smith Brothers.
Ruth expressed her sincere thanks to her amazing friends and helpers, Lesley and Greg Wilson, Scott in the café and Ellie Johnston Photography for capturing all the special moments at the final.
Jumping will be back at Knockagh View on Wednesday, May 28, with their mid-week outdoor summer league - organisers hope to see you all again then.
The centre also has a casual Pre-NIF/ Balmoral Working Hunter training night on Wednesday, April 23 - entries are on the App.
