THE popular and exciting Junior tetrathlon championships run by The Pony Club GB were held in very hot weather last weekend at Moreton Morrell College in Warwickshire, where the usual large squad of Irish Pony Club members competed, led by the IPC’s head of tetrathlon and minimus, John Flood.

The shoot phase took place in the marquee on site on Saturday morning, after which competitors, chefs d’equipe, coaches, parents and supporters loaded up and headed to the Newbold Comyn Leisure Centre in Leamington Spa for the swim. Then it was back to the marquee for the night’s film dance competition, which Area 17 of The Pony Club (Northern Ireland), who only had five athletes competing at the weekend, won with their rendition of Grease.
