Captain Geoff Curran set the pace first into the ring in the seven man jump off and set a fast pace of 41.92, which was good enough for second place in the line up. 

Darryl Walker and Kiss N Fly were last to go in the jump off and kept all ences standing in a time of 44.25, which left him in third position. 

Mark O'Sullivan and Thatz Amore was the last of the double clears of the day in the line-up with a time of 52.70. 

Francis Connors and Hyperion were very unlucky with one fence falling in the second round and a good time of 42.04 to keep hold of fifth place, with Gemma Phelan and GRC hot on his heels following with less than a second between the two to secure a sixth place line up finish.
