Brendan Butler misses out in Western Covey league

 

Keith Hastings is the Western/ Covey League Champion 2015

The final round of the league was held on Wednesday 2 September. This last round was inevitably going to be battle between Brendan Butler, Aidan Gill and Keith Hastings who were all in the running for the overall league top spot.

 

The race was held in Westport and the Coveys had the numerical and local advantage making for a difficult night of racing for Brendan Butler. The Coveys made it very hard for the Western Lakes lads but to Brendan Butlers  and John Conroy’s credit they both defended all of the attacks and closed down the breaks that were been fired at them all night.

However their repeated efforts took their toll on the lads and when it came to the uphill sprint finish and Aidan Gill and Keith Hastings turned on the power when required with Aidan taking the win, Keith 2nd and Pat Joe 3rd.

The high placing for Keith Hastings gave him the overall and well deserved league win with Aidan Gill and Brendan Butler taking 2nd and 3rd in the league.

Patricia Harte of Western Lakes took the ladies league overall win following her fine performances in the earlier rounds of the league so well done to Patricia on her first try and league racing.

The team prize went to Western Lakes and Brendan Butler took the most aggressive rider prize. Well done to all who participated and a big thank you to all of the marshals and helpers.
