Ray takes second place in Cyclo Cross

Belfast's Fall's Park held the last round of the Ulster Cyclo Cross series on Sunday (23rd). The race was held over  laps of a technical, yet fast course, which was the usual mix of grass, forest and tarmac. In the main race Cuchulainn's Ray O`Shaughnessey showed that he is building form ahead of January's National Championships with a 2nd position in the main event. Ray was just a minute behind winner, Glen Kinning, whom has dominated the series so far, winning every round he has competed. Behind these other cuchulainn riders had good races with Gary Shiels next home in 12th and 4th vet, while Johnny McCabe was 16th and first supervet.  These good results were somewhat offset with bad luck befalling brothers Declan and Gerry McCabe whom were both forced to retire due to mechanical problems. In the B race Ray Fedigan continues to make good progress in the sport, having finished in 13th position.

On December 5th the club will head for the Spirit Store to celebrate all their achievements over the season. Prizes will be presented for the club's competitions and all the Louth Championships. The event starts at 8pm and tickets are €10, available at the door.
