Pupils from a secondary school in County Waterford celebrated the culmination of a very successful equestrian season recently with a trip to Kildare.

The St Declan's Community College equestrian team members travelled there to participate in the Inter Schools National League final. 

A spokesperson for the school expressed congratulations to Mia O Donnell, who was leading the Open Individual League for the last number of months. 

Mia placed 5th on the day, resulting in a league final 2nd place position.

"This is an amazing achievement for our First Year student and we are all very proud of her," said the spokesperson.

"Our Novice team didn’t place on the day, but came 5th in the league," she added.

She went on to say it was a great result following months of hard work and competition. 

"A special mention to the parents and guardians, who gave up their time to go to these events and support our students week in week out in the competition," said the spokesperson.

"Well done to all involved and we look forward to the new league starting in September," she added.
