CYCLING PURSUITS CUP

Posted by admin on March 10th, 2010 | 0 comments

A large Limerick CC contingent was involved in both races on what was a extremely flat and fast circuit on a very fine day.

Unfortunately no honors were bestowed on the club but Limerick CC members were very active raced very positively, with a rider in each break during the course of the race.
The Senior race wan won by our good friend Mike Storan of West Clare CC while Eugene Lynch of Blarney CC turned back the years to win the A4 race.

Lacey Cup Race Report

Sunday 28th of February saw a strong contingent from Limerick CC head to Tralee for the Lacey Cup. A 3 man breakaway including two LCC members, Michael lynch and Stephen Clancy worked extremely hard in to a headwind. They were eventually reeled in after a huge effort. Nonetheless Stephen managed an excellent 10th place in the finish despite his earlier efforts. Please see below for some pictures. All pictures are courtesy of Kieran Clancy.
