What a way to answer a question, Boyle took 5.1s out of Doherty on the penultimate stage, probably a mountain too far for the Kilkenny man at this stage. Daniel Cronin lost almost 4s to Matthew Boyle on SS17, but still has 18.3s to spare, so will just have to hold it together it would…
Did we speak too soon about the winner maybe being decided, maybe we did, Doherty has taken 3s out of Boyle on SS16 and the gap is down to 3s. Daniel Cronin is almost nailed on for 3rd, as is Matthew Boyle for 4th. Behind that is a corker of a tussle, Shane Quinn has…
Michael Boyle seems to be closing in on the win at the Wexford Volkswagon Wexford stages rally. He is down as matching Eddie Doherty on SS15, but seems to have lost 2s from the lead, which was 8s on the previous stage, the mind boggles. When I get the better of the counting frame in…
Michael Boyle has now pulled 8s clear of Eddie Doherty, he eked out another 3.1s on the penultimate spin around the stage in the Duncormick area. With the battles resumed down the main field, Daniel Cronin managed to better Doherty on this stage, although too far back to catch the 2nd place man, he’s looking…
The big new from SS13 is the weather having effected the rally for the first time, Declan Boyle’s rally seems to be done as he’s gone off the road on the stage. Everyone from Aiden Wray down has the same nominal time for the moment, more on that later. However, prior to this, Michael Boyle…
Game back on her after SS12, just when we thought that Michael Boyle had got the better of Eddie Doherty, the Kilkenny man said “hold on here ya whippersnapper” or something to that effect, and took 1.4s back from the Donegal man and the gap is down to 0.4s,methinks we’re in for a cracking last…
Michael Boyle has posted the fastest time through SS10, he was 2.8s quicker than Eddie Doherty, turning a 1s deficit into a 1.8s lead. While defending champion Declan Boyle was nearly matching Doherty, he is 12.7s behind the new 2nd place man, and would have to do a lot of work to improve on the…
Eddie Doherty still leads the rally, but the 1.5s gap that existed before the cars started the stage in Twelveacre is now down to exactly 1s, Michael Boyle is laying down his marker for the day. Declan Boyle lost 2s from the rally leader on SS10, but is the only other car to come within…
As we write this, the rally leader, Eddie Doherty is just about to go towards the start of the first of nine stages that will take place today. With only a little over 9s separating the top three, we’re probably going to have the hardest rally for years to predict who will be the top…
When i looked at the seeded entry list during the week doing a little prep work before the rally, I noticed car 89 was entered with Stephen Murphy driving and Mickey Joe in the passenger seat. After a quick check with the man from Kilmeaden to see if I was seeing things, I wasn’t, the…
