Mayo league final overall
Westport’s cyclist snatches overall Mayo cycling league.
Keith O Connell Covey Westport CC staged a magnificent comeback by winning the Mayo cycling league at the final race in Ballinrobe. Keith was lying in 3rd position overall going into the final round, a solid performance throughout the league and a much improved TT where he bettered his first TT result thus leaped fogged him above Barry Holian and Ger Corcoran to snatch the Marrey Bikes yellow jersey as overall league winner.
This was Barry's second time missing out on the overall win, maybe next year he will be third time lucky.
The final round was a 15k time trial from Ballinrobe to Kilmaine and back.
On the night Padraig Marrey Western Lakes CC proved fastest winning by over 30 seconds, Dave Mac Dermott also Western Lakes was the most improved time trialist over the league when he improved his time by 1minute and 14 seconds.
How it was won.
