AS the Northern Region’s Tyrella season came to a close last Saturday after nearly single-handedly bailing out the sport since the start of the campaign, local Olympians Joseph Murphy and Clare Abbott made their 2025 Eventing Ireland debuts and came away with a win apiece.

Murphy had three rides in the EI115 (Open) and filled three of the top four placings with the trio of Irish Sport Horse geldings, all of whom are competing in the CCI3*-S at Ballindenisk this weekend.
