LAURA Higgins landed the RC 80 Championship title at the first time of asking after a hard fought contest at Connolly’s Red Mills-sponsored AIRC National Show Jumping Championships at Mullingar Equestrian, Co Westmeath last Sunday.

Higgins on Ballyegan Bart, a 13-year-old bay gelding, recorded the only double-clear round of the competition to claim the spoils for the Barnacarroll club in Mayo.
