Four Orwell riders made the long trip to Cork for the 3-day youth event in Kanturk last weekend. Craig Arrigan once again produced a strong performance to finish second overall with Darragh Long fourth overall in the Under-14 event.
Rachael Mellor finished a fine sixth overall in the Under-12 event, was first of the Under-11 riders and first girl while Timothy Mellor made great progress in his second event to put several riders behind him on the time trial results sheet.
Meanwhile, on the Curragh in Kildare, Stephen McNally led in Paul Dolan (Usher IRC) at the end of four tough laps to win the Group E/F/X IVCA DMS event. From an earlier nine-man break that also included Lloyd Berry, McNally forged clear with a lap and a half to go and edged Dolan in the side-by-side sprint for the line.
