Telford was the quickest of a strong Orwell contingent, who took every place from fifth to eighth in the race. Ciara Kinch was sixth in the sprint for the line, with Anne Dalton seventh, and Aideen Collard rounding out the prizes in eighth.
The A3 race saw Orwell's Barry Dunne finish very strongly to grab sixth place in a hard charging finish that saw Eddie Lynch also in the prizes with eighth. Dunne looked comfortable through much of the race, moving up the bunch nicely for the gallop and finishing in the points despite having to ride on the grass verge for much of the finale. Peter Gerrard was also prominent in the final lap, riding hard on the front of the bunch to bring back the break.
Neal Hudson was unlucky not to finish in the prizes for a second week running in A4, finishing ninth. Brian McArdle showed that six months off the bike hadn't muted his racing form by finishing in the bunch in his second race of the weekend.
Brian Ahern and Odhran Connors were both active in a very aggressive A1/A2 race that saw the field blown into several groups by the halfway mark, with the Orwell duo both riding hard in bids to get across to the leading group.
