McCabe's & Shiels claim Vets prizes in Cyclocross, while Ray O`Shaughnessey is 4th

Round two of the Fixx Coffee House Cyclocros League saw riders held to Tallaght's Tymon Park for a challenging course of grass, tarmac, gravel and complete with a novelty "spiral" section, that caused spectators as much confusion as the riders.. The dry conditions saw fast times for both the A and B races.
In the A race, covering 8 laps of the course, Cuchulainn had a very successful day. Leading the charge was Ray O`Shaughnessy coming home in 4th place behind two time Olympian Robin Seymour. Ray is continuing to build good form and should be a medal contender come January in the National Championships. Next Dundalk man home was Gary Shiels in 14th position, and also claiming the first Vet despite dropping a chain late on in the day. Johnny McCabe was 20th man home and claimed the first Supervet prize. Aiden McDonald was close behind in 22nd, having dropped down the leader board after sustaining a puncture. Gerry McCabe was only slightly further back in 28th position.
In the B race, consisting of 7 laps, the final McCabe brother had a great day claiming 7th overall and first Supervet. Kenny Sullivan was 20th and Ray Fedigan made his cyclocross debut to come home in 60th position in the field of over 90.
Cuchulainn CC recently held their AGM in the Fairways Hotel. A good turn out saw the club discuss a number of initiatives for the year ahead as well as looking back over a successful 2014. The next event for the club is the traditional end of season awards night and Christmas party on Friday December 5th in the Spirit Store
