London Knights have been crowned champions of the third GCL Super Cup Nov. 21 after an epic afternoon of sporting drama, unprecedented pressure and history-making rounds in one of the more dramatic show jumping competitions.

Owners, riders, trainers and team managers praised the GCL Super Cup throughout the week of jaw-dropping show jumping including Ludger Beerbaum who said: “I have to say this is probably one of the most modern and fancy, up-to-date arenas we have definitely in Europe if not in the world. The shows and everything the way the sport is presented is very very special, it’s fun to come here and I can guarantee no matter in which role I’d love to come here in the coming years.”

Stepping on the GCL Super Cup podium was a goal of all the teams all year as today’s squad of U25 rider Emily Moffitt and brothers Nicola and Olivier Phillipaerts faced down phenomenal pressure to reign supreme. The young team proved just how important having a U25 rider in GCL teams is to expose them to the highest level and gain valuable experience. Knocking on the door it was the Paris Panthers who secured second place while the all-German team of Berlin Eagles took a prestigious third on the podium.
