Wood leads by 23″ after SS3

Normal service seems to be resumed after the slight problems we had earlier in the day in bringing the latest times to you. Steve Wood now leads by 23″ From Ian Barrett, who in turn has 18″ of a cushion back between himself and Gary Kiernan. Stephen McCann trails Kiernan by a further 24″, but has a 20″ cushion over Wesley Patterson in 5th. 13″ behind Patterson is Richard Moore in 6th, and here is where life gets interesting. There is the with of a piece of paper between Moore and John Bonner in 7th, this could be worth watching for the two days. Liam Howlett has now shown where we though he would somewhere in the top 10, he is 13″ behind Bonner but has Joe Connolly in the much newer Fiesta only 2″ back in 9th. We will try find out from Liam if himself and John McGrath are on talking terms, in other words had their intercom problems been sorted or do they have to do a lot of shouting??? John Reddington is 14″ behind that battle in 10th, but has Leon Galvin and Barry McKenna only 5″ & 8″ back respectively, interesting times ahead at the sharp end, especially as there may be some rain in the air.

Here are all the provisional times we have to hand.
