After a season of hard training, the work finally paid off for Jerry McCarthy when he claimed victory in the Vets at the Munster TT Champs last week in Patrickswell. Fellow clubman George Doyle narrowly missed out on taking the A3 Title, but came away with second place. Congrats and well done to both !

Cathal Moynihan ( Tralee Manor West BC ) stormed to victory in the 2013 Sliabh Luachra TT on Sat evening, only two nights after setting a new course record on Round 3 of the Kerry TT league,, showing an incredible return to form following a well earned rest after his impressive Rás debut.

Cathal set a time of 26:44, some eight seconds ahead of the newly crowned Munster TT champion Simon Ryan (DMG Visit Nenagh) who took second place on 26:52, with fellow team mate Denis Dunworth (DMG Visit Nenagh) taking third with a time of 27:04. A big thanks to Currow CC for putting on an excellent event as always.

Round 3 of the 2013 Kerry TT League took place on Thurs evening in favourable conditions, with some very fast times being put down by the competitors. Despite a very impressive performance from Denis Dunworth ( Visit Nenagh DMG ) it was Cathal Moynihan ( Tralee Manor West BC ) who ripped up the course with a blistering time of  26:29.4, not only taking the victory but also setting a new course record, with an average speed of 45.3 kmph !

Once and a while everything falls into place at the same time, just like today for the Healy Pass Club Spin. Amazing weather, stunning route and great company ensured one of those days on the bike that will always be remembered. Carlsberg don’t do bike spins but if they did … it would probably be like this one !

Round 2 of the 2013 Kerry League took place tonight in continental conditions, a complete contrast to the last round. The handicaps were tightened to reflect the very impressive performance of the A4s from round one, however they weren’t as hungry tonight with the A3s catching the A4s by the Castleisland Roundabout, and the Scratch group catching their quarry by the turnoff for Fahaduff. A flurry of attacks ensued, first by Denis O’Shea ( Killarney CC ) and then John Mannix ( Killarney CC ), which looked the decisive move of the evening but strong riding by Barry Horgan (Tralee BC ) & Tom B O’Conor  ( Chaingang CC ) reeled them back, leaving it all down to an intense bunch sprint finish. The final result across the line was :

1st Denis O’Shea ( Killarney CC )

2nd Benny Cassidy ( Killarney CC )

3rd Donnacha Galvin ( Tralee Manor West BC )

4th Patrick Clifford ( Killarney CC )

5th Michael O’Mahony ( Killarney CC )

6th Barry Horgan ( Tralee Manor West BC )

In the under 16s, a very impressive battle ensued on the climb with Stephen Doherty taking the honours.

1st Stephen Doherty ( Killarney CC )
