KATE Derwin (19) had the best finish to 2020 when she came out on top in the final of the 1.40m Autumn Grand Prix League in Cavan last Sunday, while it was John McEntee who won the overall title.

Riding Jim Derwin’s Deep Pockets, an 11-year-old gelding by O.B.O.S Quality 004, out of Simply Chic (Cruising), the talented young rider showed just why she can never be underestimated against the clock, breaking the beam in 40.89 almost two seconds faster than her closest opposition.
