The weather was warm with a light breeze on the 2km oval track.After the youth races on the Ambulance track, racing moved on to a second course on the 600m hilly Horsebox carpark lap. The U12s, U14s and U16s took part in elimination races that were the highlight of the day.In the combined C1/C2/C3 handicap race at 2pm, all the categories were spread over one lap at the start, with Stephen Gilman (OLeary Stone) fresh from winning two C3 races in the last week trying in vain to gain a lap on the C1s. The race came together at the halfway point, with the inevitable Paul Kennedy (Burren CC) attack taking him clear. Behind, Mike Storan (West Clare CC), Keith Walsh (Greenmount CA) and Daniel Lynch (OLeary Stone) broke free but were reeled in with 6 laps to go.Arnaud Dumoulin (OLeary Stone CC) then escaped the bunch with 4 laps to go and, while he was almost caught over the final laps, he powered ahead to seal 2nd place. A bunch sprint followed, with Keith Walsh just piping Stephen Gilman for 3rd.Massive thanks to all the parents, supporters, officials and riders for making it a successful days racing Michael and Toms on Commissaire duty, Niall and the Limerick Red Cross keeping everyone safe, Sharon and Eoin on sign-on, and Ed taking results.C1-3C1/C2/C3 Combined 50 mins + 3 laps1Paul KENNEDYBurren CC2Arnaud DUMOULINOLeary Stone CC3Keith WALSHGreenmount CA4Stephen GILMANOLeary Stone Kanturk5Daniel LYNCHOLeary Stone Kanturk6Bruno COPPOLAGreenmount CAC2Jarlath HASSETT (1st unplaced C2)Burren CCM40Sean CONROY (1st M40)Greenmount CAM50Anthony TESTA (1st M50)Gaeltacht CCRider in actionU16BU16 Boys 10 laps1Ethan REALSliabh Luachra CC2Conor LYNCHSliabh Luachra CC3Darragh COLLINSNewcastlewest CCElimConor LYNCH (Elimination winner)Sliabh Luachra CCU16GU16 Girls 10 laps1Ciara FLAVINDungarvan CC2Jennifer CONDONOLeary Stone Kanturk CCU14BU14 Boys 5 laps1Anthony FOLEY DORANCarlow RC2Conor COXSliabh Luachra CC3Donnacha HYNESTuam CCElimConor COX (Elimination winner)Sliabh Luachra CCU14GU14 Girls 5 laps1Laura CONDONOLeary Stone Kanturk CCRiders ready for actionU12BU12 Boys 3 laps1Rian FLAVINDungarvan CC2Dylan QUEALLYGreenmount CA3Albert MATEI TODORGreenmount CAElimRian FLAVIN (Elimination winner)Dungarvan CCU12GU12 Girls 3 laps1Caroline COLLINSSliabh Luachra CC2Sophia QUIGLEYWaterford RC3Emily OMAHONEYSliabh Luachra CC
