UCD’s O’Conluain Takes EmyVale GP – Updated
There was racing for all categories today at Tydavnet when Emyvale CC promoted their annual Emyvale GP. First into the fray were the Youth riders who faced a different circuit from normal as ongoing roadworks had closed a number of roads in the area.
Due to some confusion because of the change of route the U14 and U16 race required a restart. Ciara Doogan of Errigal, who has recently been named on the European Youth Olympic team, took the win by over two minutes.
Harvey Barnes of East Tyrone had to be content with second on this occasion with Ethan Fleville of Clann Eireann taking an excellent third position.… Read more

Hylands Battles Weather to Win Ras Loughgiel
In what could only be described as horrendous conditions only half of those who had pre-entered signed on for the second stage in the A4 Rás Loughgiel promoted by Duffin Transport and sponsored by Clinivet.
With the crashes on Friday evening’s stage some riders would have been experiencing soreness and stiffness while others were nursing sick bikes. Others may have decided that a warm bed was much more preferable to signing on for misery so only forty riders powered through the time trial.
It was a good ride for Kings Moss rider, Derek Ferguson, who topped the results with a 7.44 – only one second ahead of Bann Valley’s Gerard McNally and some eight seconds faster than third place man Luke Hylands of Keevan CC, the relatively unknown newcomer who entered the stage wearing the leader’s yellow Jersey.… Read more
