Saying an same size as me so anyhow back to uh racing and the lster league and we like to thank NY very much for giving us a handw video and reports for this fair play NY yeah it’s wonderful to see yeah and it was up in old castle fantastic
Course looks really spectacular up there and under in the Under 12 Leisa kran from imbr RC got the win yeah the Under 12 boys was Jacob Robinson from bray wheelers and then onto uh which is possibly going to be one of the best battles of the year uh it seems to be
Setting up that way anyway yeah James uh Cunningham and on Davies had a great battle uh and they got the win James got the win ahead of Owen and darl Murphy from r own one James one we have a video of them where James literally just pipped
Him so it’s great to see great racing up there absolutely Katy Turner Captain taking over in under 14’s got the win from Kira OK Conor and Albert Sanchez Gutierrez fantastic name in under 16 boys F Keen from kin got the better of reene mccristal the national champion

Oor and Holly mcaffrey and they’re the jumbo visma of the Irish Cy world really aren’t it it appears to be sweeping the podium up or the SD works for the women to be yes critically correct and all that like well done well done to the
Trvy fair play and B race they had 66 Riders which is frankly taken to piss our old castle just balling out the money at the moment like going yo man yo man H great tree race yeah con Connor fennel was flying it and he crashed in
The last corner and F Sheridan got in for the win break heartbreak for Connor but uh and well done to Castle CC who have now new team Bost I might call a little bit of controversy because most of the top five the B race were lapping in the same
Times as Joe Mullen and those in the a Race So I think there’s a few Lads getting in get out of there to up to the a uh in the women’s during Keen dur Keen got the better of Stephanie roach and Leah McCarthy yeah Rihanna Dolan um was the
Best Junior um old friends Jean Wilson got the M40 yes old key Jes Jean Wilson M40 exactly the old H Emma Cony got the M50 win and then in the seniors men’s Joseph M W again from Paul O’Reilly and Ty Keen yeah good race very very good race uh Joseph is flying

Think we could just leave that in script every week yeah exactly good man Johnny it’s fantastic to see that you’re still racing and kicking bottom which is very very good uh down south in Monster we had uh Carrick wheeler p wheelers had their annual race which was held in
Paris down prep for cross caml next week just to ride in the course and see what worked and what didn’t work it did and the official weather report is it was roasting uh because it was absolutely boiling uh which led to a very fast um Power course power course yeah didn’t
Suit either of us be 100% honest with you like you know I think I need to redesign this course I designed this course originally about seven or eight years ago and I was going well and I haven’t adjusted it to my lack of ability since so tough
Uh but yes great people seem to be genuinely happy with it we have a video of it as well if you scroll down in YouTube you’ll find lap a very slow video lap as someone recorded H to give you a feel for it we’re going to make
Two or three tiny changes for next week that’s the benefit of running the race a week early just see what works what doesn’t work and there was one poll that was just attracting riters to someone’s going to wrap a frame around so that but anyhow the racon kicked off with the
Under 14 girls and ARA mhar of The Host Club got the win she bet Rose linan from s lra and Isabelle Gaffney from D Garin yeah fantastic uh under 14 boys Ethan reel from SCH lra Kieran mulany from SCH lra and Rory mhar from Panda Carrick
