Killarney riders dominate Road Race League round 2

KILLARNEY Cycling Club hosted Round 2 of the Clubs of Kerry Road Race League and their riders dominated proceedings. It was a perfect evening for the races held on their regular circuit at Churchtown in Beaufort.

In the senior race John Brosnan showed he had plenty left in his lags after the Ras Tailteann as he dominated this race. Once the A1 riders caught the A2 and A3 riders who were off first Brosnan went clear and was not going to be caught. He was a clear winner and took the 10 points on offer in the 6 round Road Race League.

Conor Kissane, Killarney CC, followed up his win in the first round with a second place here as he bids to defend his title.

Tralee Manor West riders David Fitzgerald and Kieran Coggins took 3rd and 5th with Kilarney’s Leigh Hewerdine crossing the line in 4th.

In the underage races Callum Steadman, Killarney CC, took the U-12s win from unattached rider Nuala Moloney with the three Killarney CC riders filling the rest of the top five places – Danny Falvey, Tadgh Kissane O’Sullivan and Shayna Daly.

Killarney riders took the top three places in the U-14 race with Shane Galvin home ahead of Adam Lenihan and Louis Steadman. Shauna Finn from Newcastlewest was 4th and Dinny Murphy, Sliabh Luachra, in 5th.

In the U-16s race Patrick Galvin took the win from Stefan Caulfield Drier and their fellow Killarney CC club mates Ethan Slattery in 3rd and Lorcan Daly in 4th. Ben Murphy from Sliabh Luachra was 5th across the line.

This Thursday it’s Round Two of the Time Trial League where Round 1 winner Paul Kennedy, Newcastlewest CC, will be looking to better his blistering 26.14.6.
