Villiers Girls Take The Silverware Home
Sunday 13th November 2011 saw Villiers Equestrian Team, Becca Davies, Orla Shiel and Laura O'Connor compete in the Interschools in Banner Equestrian Centre. The competition was tight throughout the morning and with the girls jumping two clear rounds each, it ended up in a jump-off with two Ard Scoil Ris teams, Rice College, Ennis and Villiers. Tensions were high and Ms. Woods was caught in the middle with her son on one of the Ard Scoil teams and her students on the Villiers Team. In fact, it became clear that her allegiance had moved from familial to Villiers when Orla pipped Ard Scoil by 'point 2' of a second. The banter between our neighbours, Ard Scoil, and ourselves was great and really demonstrated the sportsmanship of both schools. We're looking forward to our next outing, which we hope will be just as fruitful.
