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.
