LIAM ROSSITER INDIVIDUAL PREDICT YOUR TIME COMPETION

A turnout of 15 riders was good for the fourth week of the Liam Rossiter Meats Individual "Predict Your Time" Competition. It was another breezy Wednesday night but we are getting used to them at this stage. It was good to see another new face and we would all like to welcome Pa Power to the ranks. It was thought predictions couldn’t get much better than the previous weeks but Tony O’Mahony & Frank Browne proved us wrong with both riders hitting their predicted times spot on. Third on the night was Damian Travers at 18 seconds out. Next Wednesday is the last night of this 5-week competition and looking at the overall tables any of up to 7 riders could take the overall prize but Dzintar’s Klava would have to be the bookies favourite.

ROSSITER QUALITY MEATS INDIVIDUAL PYT COMPETION WEEK 4 FULL RESULTS

New participants are welcome each week so come and support the last night of this excellent competition. The starting time for this week’s competition is 6.45 p.m. on Wednesday at John Foley’s Kilrush.

O’MAHONY CYCLES AND NURSERY SUMMER SERIES GETS UNDERWAY NEXT WEEK

O’MAHONY CYCLES AND NURSERY SUMMER SERIES GETS UNDERWAY NEXT WEEK

The annual Summer Series gets underway on Wednesday next, the 7^th May for eight weeks. It is held over the Mill Street circuit, which is 40km in length. This is a handicap event with points awarded each week for the first five places and each finisher getting points as well. This means once again that consistency is important with regular finishers being rewarded even if they are not amongst the places. The handicapping last year was so accurate that the final result was not decided until the last night where Colin Organ was declared the overall winner.

Thanks to Siobhan and Tony O’Mahony for their kind sponsorship.

Good to see 2 more new faces this week for the Liam Rossiter "Predict Your Time" Time Trial, Jason Travers and Ed Kelly.  For this league it is your best 4 times that count so that you can miss one night and still be in the running, the table is really starting to shape up now.  Once again the actual times of the winners were very close to the predicted times, With Benny and Colin being 4 and 7 seconds out respectively , on their new bikes, (conspiracy theories may be forwarded on to myself) and with our domiciled Oz doc Brett in third, out only by 8 seconds.  There was a good tail wind all the way out to the Whitechuch turn but you paid for it coming back the Bog road with the severe head wind, a lot of slower times this week.  Once again thanks to timekeepers and photographers Enda and Padraig, good to see Enda is giving it a shot next week.  Two more weeks to go, check the combined times in the 2008 folder "Whitechurch PYT".
