Tipperary rider Liam O'Meara recorded a second win at Kildare International in the HSI/Connolly's Red Mills Spring Tour by taking Sunday's opening leg of the 2015 league in great style.

Having won two years previously with Mr Coolcaum, the duo doubled up in a hotly contested opening leg which resulted in a 17-horse jump-off.

In The Irish Field this week, Emer Bermingham gives a blow-by-blow account of the jump-off and where O'Meara had the winning edge. The Irish Field is online from 9.30pm Friday night and in shops Saturday.

The next leg of the HSI/Connolly's RED MILLS Spring Tour will be at Cavan Equestrian Centre next Sunday.
