Report 3. Saturday 17.50

As we aid in the last report, we have had various gremlins during th day that have hampered our job. You think that yours truly has been tearing hair out, you should see Ron and George doing the results!!!


Stephen Murphy had put pressure on Donie O'Sullivan over stage 4 and 5 but lost pace on 6. Both of the top two however lost time in turn to Melvyn Evans and John Price. Richie Curran had a bad time on 6 losing a whopping 70sec to Melvyn.


Noel Redmond was the biggest casualty, going out on 6 just when he was getting into his stride. Also dropping out of the rally on this loop was George Mackey, no eason known here yet but we will fill you in. Steve Hendy and Steve Fleck come next, with only 3sec seperating them. David James has now taken over the mantle of leading 2WD, James Stafford's Nova has gone missing somewhere. Liam Wall makes it another ocal in the top 10 having 14sec to spare from John Cope. As the results get updated in the next few hours, we should get a clearer picture.

1 3 Donie O'Sullivan/Paul Nangle 42'19"
