It was race number two on the Tandragee circuit in the Newry Wheelers League on Tuesday evening this week kindly sponsored by Patrick Murphy and Sons poultry, meats and frozen foods.

In the Group 1 and 2 race the win went to Tommy Ireland of Shimna Wheelers followed home closely by Martin Little and Martin Gorman both of Newry Wheelers, Little building on his win in week one.

In the Group 3 and 4 race it took a 28 mph average from a smoothly working Group 4 to finally bring back Group 3 inside the final two kilometres and following the short drag with one kilometre to go it was a sprint finish with the hugely impressive teenager Rian McCrystal opening up his sprint to take the win again following his win in race week one.

The result really stands out when you see it was two highly experienced racers in Kevin McKinney, Cycleology Racing, and Mark McKinley, Newry Wheelers, who came in second and third.

Rian showing this class at such a young age is very impressive. Next week it's a time trial on Newry to Warrenpoint Carriageway.
