FORTY year-old Co. Down rider Dermott Lennon will be the sole Irish representative in Sunday's third leg of the Rolex FEI World Cup Final, when the top 28 riders now qualified at Geneva, Switzerland bid for the World Cup trophy.

Lennon dislodged a single pole in tonight's (Friday) jump-off class with Woods Rosbotham's gelding 'Hallmark Elite' and was therefore not in contention for the second round, which featured just nine riders from a starting list of 42. Now carrying 13 faults in total from the first two competitions, he will line out shortly before 1pm on Sunday at the Palexpo arena in an attempt to be one of the 15 riders who will go through to the second and final round of the last World Cup competition.

Offaly's Darragh Kenny, Ireland's only other competitor at Geneva, went out of the competition tonight when he had two fences down with 'Obelix' in the first round, not making the cut for either the jump-off or Sunday's final leg.
