O'Connor Maintains The Pressure At St Gallen

WITH THE needle match of Sunday's Nations Cup looming, Ireland's Cian O'Connor maintained the almost relentless Irish pressure on the opposing countries with a Second place in today's (Saturday) St. Gallen Speed Class, but was unable to equal Germany's Toni Hassmann's super-fast time of 75.40, coming in over three seconds slower.

However, 23 yr old O'Connor has now demonstrated that his second-string horse, ABC Landliebe, is a force to be reckoned with, having already won the opening class at the Swiss fixture, and taking a Seventh place earlier today. Yesterday, O'Connor's team-mates Robert Splaine and Billy Twomey took First and Second in the St. Gallen Grand Prix, proving that the Irish are in fiercely determined mood for tomorrow's Nations Cup showdown.
