League Results
The latest round of the FPM Accountants Summer Cycling league saw the super scratch catch all in front of them for the first time in a while. This was in no small part due to the fact that the race was on the Ravensdale Circuit, one of the hillier routes used in the league. Once again the warm weather meant a big turn out, though as school holidays set in & people jet off for their yearly breaks these numbers will start to fall a bit over the coming weeks.The race completed 2 laps of the 11miles circuit & with less than 3 miles to go the super scratch had caught all. A fierce sprint for the line ensued, however the nature of the uphill finish at Ravensdale mean timing is everything. Colm Quinn whom has won on this circuit before did indeed go to early & faded to 3rd spot, with Alan Bingham begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting coming around Gerry McCabe in the final 50ms to take the flag. Mountain biker Gary Shiels was 4th & Raymond O'Shaughnessy in 5th.
In the ladies & beginners league Anthony Craven continued his upward momentum, 3rd 2 weeks, ago, 2nd last week & a win this week. He beat Michael Stokes into 2nd & Cuirithir O'Brannagain was 3rd. It really was a night for beginners with the 1st 8 home being the beginner men, pushing all the more experienced ladies out of the top placings. His recent string of good results sees Anthony sitting pretty on top of the leader board, with 9 points to spare over Chris Rogers & Cuirithir O'Brannagain in joint 2nd. Eve McCrystal & Fiona Rogers are joint leading ladies in 5th position.
Tuesday night saw the return of the Mountain Bike League, however it also doubled up as the Louth Mountain Bike Championships. Multiple Irish Champion Aiden McDonald was the winner & crowned Louth Champion, ahead of Ray O`Shaughnessy. The sensation of the night was relative newcomer Darie McCaughlan in 3rd. Celine McPhilips took the ladies title ahead of Sandra O`Hagan
The club's mountain bikers also raced in Dromara the weekend in round 5 of the Ulster League. In the senior race the club had 2 men in the top 5, with Ray O`Shaughnessy in 2nd & Aiden McDonald in 4th. In the men's 2 & 3 races Declan McCabe was 4th in the 2s, while Stephen Kelleher occupied the same spot in the 3s. In the Under 16s Aaronn McCann had yet another podium continuing his fine season to date.
