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

North Down Take Glory at the Loup -Ted McKibbin Seriously Injured
Spires CC had everything in place today for what should have been a great day’s racing. With barriers at the finish line, lots of marshalls, motorbike outriders, lead cars, an ambulance and a first aid car, the club had left nothing to chance for their first ever open race promotion.
There was a full field for both the A race for A1-A3 riders and the B event for A4 riders.
The Masters and Women event was combined today and there twenty five riders lined up. Unfortunately the roads were very ‘greasy’ with unlderying salt and although the riders were warned at the start of each race it did not prevent a few minor spills in both the A and B events.… Read more

The main race of the day was the A1 and A2 race. As there was a good bunch of both categories the event was handicapped with A2′s getting two minutes over scratch.
Riding in this bunch was aggressive from the start with several riders lashing it at the front to try and keep scratch from closing in.… Read more

Kinning & Hesketh Win David McCall Ulster GP Races
To be part of the spectacle and atmosphere of the Ulster Grand Prix was almost overwhelming on Saturday, the massive crowds of spectators for the motor-bike races cheered the 30 riders through the pits just like a grand tour race with blasting music, entusiastic commentary and police siren out-riders making this a day to remember on this 4th aniversary for our clubmate Dave McCall. Unfortunately we only have a 1 hour window to work with and our thanks go to Noel Johnston (clerk of the course) and his team for giving us the opportunity and their support to ride the circuit with closed roads.… Read more

Cranston Lifts Madigan GP Crown at Carrickfergus
Carrickfergus cyclist Gary Cranston (East Antrim Audi) rode superbly well for the whole race and very much deserved to win after a 5th place last year. Attacks went early in the 3 lap 54-mile hilly race on the Kilroot, Glynn, Gleno, Beltoy circuit. An 11 man group formed including Mark Potts (Omagh Whs) which opened a gap of 3 minutes within the 1st lap. More attacking mostly instigated by Gary Cranston on the climbs shed this group to nine. Another man in this group James McMaster (Curran Racing) took both K.O.H.… Read more
