Caroline Kerley wins Volunteer of the Year
Friday night last saw Dundalk's Cuchullainn Cycling Club hold it's annual awards night in The Spirit Store. The night is a chance to reward success on the road and also to those who do a lot of work behind the scenes to ensure a club with over 300 members runs smoothly.
For that reason, the biggest award on the night is always Volunteer of the Year and for 2015 previous winner Philip Kerley presented the very deserving award to Caroline Kerley. Caroline was omnipresent at every event during the season with her camera and had photos posted to social media by nightfall. Her photos were always eagerly anticipated by those competing, to see the enjoyment or more likely, pain, etched on their face.
The largest section of the club, the Leisure Cyclists presented awards to David Sloan and Rosemary Gibson. Sandra O`Hagan claimed female cyclist of the year, following an outstanding off-road campaign , which included a national medal. Road cyclist of the year went to Jimmy Flynn, while John McDonnell was the off road cyclist of the year. Most improved male and female cyclists were Paul Howard and Rosemary Gibson respectively. Sean Conlon collected the Hero of the Year award.
Awards were presented for the various events promoted by the club throughout the year. First up were the winner's of the 2014 New Year's Eve time trial, which went to Niall Clarke and Eve McCrystal. Sean Duff was the winner of the MTB League, ahead of Sean Kelly and Kristaps Pumpurs. The Bike Station road league when to Ardee's Alan Malone, ahead of Cuchulainn's Alan Bingham and Kileavy's Benny Smyth in 3rd. Gavin McDermott won the second section of the league ahead of underage sensation Conor McKeown and Paul Howard. Linda Stokes had a massive season and was first lady overall in the league.
Mrs Stokes was also the winner of the Louth ladies Road Race Championship, while Stamullen's Gary Gorman took the men's on the same wet day back in late August. Louth Time Trial Champions were Niall Clarke and Celine McPhilips. Chris Reilly of Team Asea was the Louth Hill Climb Champion, while Jan Conlon won the ladies championship. The off road Louth Championships went to Sandra O`Hagan and Ray O`Shaugnessey.
