| Race Report : by Conor
McGrane This weeks event clashed with the Monie Nolan in Balscaden, and other riders were flying the clubs colours in the Ladies League at the Boot Inn, the Track League in Sundrive and not forgetting the Junior Tour. 14 signed on conditions warm sunny little wind . Fastest on the night was James Whelan and myself and Jim felt special mention should go to Thomas Duffy on finishing 12th after a fast and difficult race where he had to ride the majority on his own. John Leonard and Declan Murray broke clear on the last climb and stayed away to the finish after working well together. Tim Fulcher took the sprint for third after going from a long way out although Kevin McFeely was close behind despite cramping. Jim Callaly, John Ward and Anthony McMahon followed. Many riders attributed the fact that they stayed away to Anto’s encouragement and organisation. James Whelan jumped clear from the scratch group at the bottom of the final climb and finished strongly in 8th (fastest on the night although not too much faster than the deserved winner John Leonard, only about 30 seconds) |

| Race Report : by Conor
McGrane The race came together at the start of the last lap with the Stamullen RC riders Craig Sweetman, Matt Kelly, Simon Mulvany and Frank O Connor doing all the damage. The Limit group had set of f 5 mins ahead and splint early with Kevin Morrison (McNally Swords CC) and Andrew Maudsley (McNally Swords CC) ,in his first race, riding well to stay away until the end of lap 2 - despite losing the other 2 in their group earlier. The 2nd , 3rd and 4th groups merged between Oltown and Garristown during lap 2 with Mick Rock (McNally Swords CC) and Nathan Hannigan (LesJeunes) doing most of the driving. It all finished with a relatively large group battling it out for the win which was well taken by Jason Ludgate (McNally Swords CC) |
