Round Six

The final round of this years youth league was held last night in Corkagh park, and it was another very successful edition with fifty-two kids from eight different clubs taking part.

With three races for each category from Under 6 up to Under 16, there’s always lots of winners. Top of the lot in round six was Dylan Baker who used his vastly improved sprint to take clear wins in both the Elimination and CP, as well as being fastest before the handicap in the 2up TT.

It was a good night also for the Holmes family, with big brother Luca taking two wins and another one for little sister Livia. Also featuring on the winners list were Ross Larkin, Katie Reilly, Lorcan Cattle, and Usher IRC were also represented with Lucas Dunne winning the U8 Scratch race.

Well done to all of them and well done also to everyone who came out and raced over the six weeks. Remember that while the league is finished up for another year, Monday night racing will be continuing on again from Monday the 26th of June, and there will be plenty of racing, fun and games for all ages from toddlers to sixteen year olds all the way up to the end of the Summer holidays.

Finally, thank you to all of the parents who come out and gave their help and support every week. There is a regular crew who are always there to help out whenever we need, you all know who you are yourselves, and every bit of help from you guys makes it all run so much smoother.
