Club Awards
Friday last saw Cuchulainn Cycling Club once again hold it's end of year prize giving after the Covid enforced hiatus. Held in the Lisdoo bar & Restaurant it was a night for the cyclists to celebrate all their achievements and adventures over the previous 12 months.
Cindy Black and Jim Doyle were recognised for their outstanding year on the bike by being crowned F,male and Male Leisure cyclists of the year respectively.
On the road racing scene Robert Neary had an outstanding season winning one of the 1st races of the year back in March in Newry. This win saw him rise to the A3 rank, where he continued to perform admirably. These results saw him awarded Road Racing Cyclist of the Year
PJ Hynes continued to be the dominant cyclist on the off road scene, which meant he was a worthy winner of the Off Road Cyclist of the Year category.
Most improved female and rmale cyclists were Rebecca McKay and Jack Gregory respectively. Both have been involved in the sport for a number of years, but 2022 really saw them push on and rack up some big miles in the saddle.
Such is the success the club is having in underage cycling both female and male categories saw 2 winners. Grace O`Rourke and Holly Caggrey were the underage female cyclists of the year. These 2 ladies were part of a club team that has been incredibly strong, especially in the cyclo cross discipline and has also resulted in the club's riders racking up a considerable amount of Leinster Cycling selections this season.
Sean Delnaey and Oliver O'Shaughnessy were the male underage cyclists of the year.
The Cuchulainn Spirit of the year award was presented to Jacqueline Healy in recognition of her outstanding year as ladies representative. Her greatest achievement was the successful running of the Lady's Lap of Louth in September. The event which saw over 200 ladies complete one of 2 routes around the county was a huge success and would not have been possible without the work of the committee led by Jacqueline.
The final award on the night was the Club Person of the Year and with so many great nominees the club had to pick 2. First up was Jim Wallace, a relatively latecomer to the sport, Jim was there to help at all events throughout the year, from the summer league right through to the kids training session. If a bike was involved Jim was there to lend a hand, driving the club van, arriving early to set everything up and staying late to clean up afterwards.
The other joint winner was Jason Malone, for his stellar work throughout the year on the off road scene. Jason was especially instrumental on the youth development side of the sport. This started with a youth development programme implemented last year, bringing in professional expertise to help younger members get their start in the sport, through coaching and developing their technical skills. This year many of these udnerage riders stepped up to compete in the club's off road league, again driven by Jsaon and the strong committee he helped put together. The league grew to become one of the strongest in the county, attracting riders on a weekly basis from Ulster and Leinster. Additionally Jason has a strong season himself with 2 podiums in the Senior 3 XC NPS league and a top 25 in the famed Cooley Thriller.
