  Once again, the sun shone in Faugheen for the first road race in the league comprising of three laps of the ‘Faugheen 50’ motorcycle circuit.   Tomás Lacey of Deerpark took full advantage of a generous handicap to build up a commanding lead and hold his advantage all the way to the finish.   

  Over the past 2 weekends the club has been in action in Dungarvan and Mulingar. There have also been some strong performances in some of the local leagues. Please read on for full details.

   The club’s Beginners and Underage League started this evening in brilliant sunshine in Faugheen. Fifteen boys and girls signed on and went for a familiarisation lap of the circuit under the guidance of John, Vinnie and Eamonn Maher.   They then lined up at one minute intervals for the 3.5km time trial. Clonmel’s Niall Dempsey set the early pace…

  Corkman 3 Day The club retained the Corkman 3 day title won last year by Sam Bennett in fine style. Martin O’Loughlin started the day in yellow and with a lot of strong riders close on GC knew that it would take a huge team effort to take home the silverware. By all accounts Dan Morrissey produced an exceptional…

Dan Morrissey took a huge step towards retaining the Corkman title today. Martin O’Loughlin put in a massive effort in this mornings 4 mile time trial to finish an excellent 2nd in a time of 6:55, just 2 seconds behind the stage winner Michael Lucey.

  Local cycling fans have been talking about Sam Bennett for a couple of years now. A member of the famous Carrick Wheelers club in his home town of Carrick-on-Suir, his talent was obvious to anyone who saw him racing as he came up through the under- age ranks. Now in the junior ranks for the under 18 year olds,…

The club maintained their domination of the Combined and Junior events in the Frank O’Rourke Memorial in Camaross Co. Wexford, promoted by Wexford Wheelers CC.

John O’Brien took the spoils for Dan Morrissey in last Sundays Bill Hyland Memorial hosted by Clonmel CC.  Johns success was just one of many on a day where the club showed its strength in all categories, utterly dominating each event.

  There was a total of five races contested across all grades in the annual Silver Pail Grand Prix in Fermoy on Sunday last, and with Dan Morrissey Carrick Wheelers providing three of the winners, it must go down as one of the most successful day’s racing in the clubs recent history.

Dan Morrissey braved the elements on Sunday last on a wet and windy day in Whitechurch Co. Cork. Their efforts were not to be in vain however.

   Dan Morrissey went nationwide for the easter weekend with riders representing the club in Ulster and Munster. Most notable was the seemingly unstoppable Sam Bennett who took an astonishing 5th place in the Tour of the North whilst representing the Ireland Junior team.

Double Olympian Ciaran Power of the professional Pezula Racing team made a triumphant return to Ireland after a month in South Africa by comfortably winning the Carrick Cabs Cup in Carrick-on-Suir on St. Patrick’s Day.
