Racing Update

It has been a busy summer for wheelers at the races. After his A1 win at Belmullet Eddie Brennan became a man of the Ras.

Then at the Moynalty GP A4 on July 8th, Brian Cullen in his first full year of Open racing won and how! . No competition in sight and plenty of time to celebrate at the line. The upgrade to A3 was not far behind. (Photo credit: RJR?)

More recently, Eoin McGovern won at the prestigious IVCA Sonny Cullen Memorial on August 12th beating a strong field in the sprint.

The 2016 Sweeney/Garland/Byrne Memorial race was held on December 4th on the Green Sheds circuit. Known informally as the hamper race this commemorates three Wheelers who were sadly taken from us before their time.

The race was held over a little over a distance of 44 km with three groups or riders. The first and the second group merged but the Scratch groups was not able to catch them. The winner for the second year running was Oisin Smith.
