Dylan Stynes a young and upcoming MX rider won the day , deservedly so , 3 wins from 3 starts . The family live in Galway but Alan the Dad was raised not a stones throw from Blake’s pit , round and round , it’s a small world . Greg Callaghan was second , that is the Greg of World Mountainbike fame out for a motorbike spin and showing real skill . Dad Stan is a former Irish Enduro / Trials Champion so that one was not off the stones . Stan and Greg finished the Scott trial in Yorkshire 2 weeks ago , probably the hardest trial of all and really more like an Enduro with sections. Good to have you along .

Brian MC Girr , the best Rallye man and navigator from Fermanagh , sometimes farmer , sometimes motorcyclist cleared the Clubman to take his first win only blunted by his sparring partner Ciaran breaking his arm . Hope you OK Ciaran .
Eamonn Blake is definitely destined to move a grade clearing off in the Sportsman to take a resounding overall victory . There is no truth in the fact that this is his neck of the woods and he knows it backwards ….. Eamonn did not lay out the track nor had sight of it before , he was simply faster and fitter .

Pierce Cannon did likewise in the youths , showing a clean pair of wheels to record 1 , 1 from Stephen MC Bride . Vitaly Lawson survived a huge highside to top the 125/ 250 class . We hope the guys enjoyed it .
Results are posted with times and there will be trophies .
They came out of the old woodwork ; Former S/Centre MX champion Paul Coyne still showing some style , Aussi TOM Dooley hang back till last and then rotates around consistently to jump up the field . Lesson there .

Roger and Aileen Tiernan , the original of the Enduro species were welcome visitors and good to see Keith T kept the b….s together this time . Greg Kinsella , Supermoto champion and from the house next door fell out of bed and arrived to steer an original AHOLA VOR to a creditable position , leaving the last race to get back next door to feed the baby ! Gavin C was doing the same interspersed with the odd lap on a pink TM 80 CC . Sounds good .
