Cronin all but sure of the win
Daniel Cronin is absolutely squeezing the life out of the roads of the county, he’s posted yet another fastest time and pushed the lead over Ryan McHugh to 31.7sec. Casey Jay Coleman Rallying was in remarkably good form leaving Parc Ferme this morning and seems to be enjoying today, he’s almost matching Cronin on stage times and is assured of 3rd in about 10 minutes or so. The battles down the field are holding station except that Stewart Morrison has gone ahead of Brian Bolger.
