Cronin turns the tide in his favour

Daniel Cronin has found a new lease of life at the top of the heap by posting the fastest time on the Kilthomas stage. Also Michael Boyle was 5.32 seconds slower than Cronin, but also 3″ slower than Declan Boyle, who has taken 2nd place back. Gary Kiernan posted the 2nd fastest time on the stage and is only 2.4″ off 3rd place . David Kelly is putting a bit of space between himself and Desi henry, who has gone ahead of Brendan Cumiskey, who has dropped to 7th. Cal McCarthy has jumped two places to 8th ahead of Jason Black and Jonathan Pringle rounding out the top 10. Guess who is lurking dangerously behind these two, James Stafford, around 4″ quicker than the two ahead of him, and the gap to 9th is, yep, around 4″. Tomas O’Rourke has gone off on the stage, looks like rally over for him, more later.
