Nations Cup glory for Britain

SHOWJUMPING: Great Britain has triumphed in the Nations Cup event in Lisbon, Portugal, writes Ann Martin.

The team of Scott Smith, Damian Charles, Robert Smith and William Funnell prevailed over 10 rivals on a difficult course - with their final total of 36 faults being good enough to see off Holland and Belgium.

Scott Smith was also third in the Grand Prix, gaining the fastest time in a 13-horse jump-off, at the expense of one fence down.
