Cronin leads overnight, Cumiskey seems to be out
Daniel Cronin has an overnight lead of 8.8″ going into the stages at the south end of the county tomorrow. He lost 1.5″ to Declan Boyle on the last stage of the day but in the big scheme of things, could be the best way of making sure he is fighting fit to go for the win tomorrow. Michael Boyle had dropped a further 6.3″ back on Declan, but has kept the gap the same to David Kelly, who in turn has extended the gap to Desi Henry to 24.1″. Gary Kiernan is fighting back reducing the gap to Henry by 3.5″ to leave just over 16″ to make up tomorrow to make up a place. Cal McCarthy, Jason Black, Jonathan Pringle and Johno Doogan finish out the top ten with Richie Moore gaining yet another place to 17th to be the leading local driver. Brendan Cumiskey seems to have not gone into SS9, that could explain his bad time on SS8, looks mechanical.
