Hugh Takes Club’s First 2009 Win

By March 14, 2009 Race Reports

Hugh Mulhearne started the Cycling Pursuits Cup in Broadford, Co. Limerick in last position and finished first. In dreadful conditions which saw the Newbridge event called off, the hardy warriors braved sleet and snow to overhaul all of the handicap groups by the halfway point.

Hugh forged ahead with Miceal Concannon of Killorglin in the latter stages of the race and was the stronger in the two-up gallop. After a 2008 thwarted by illness, it’s great to see Hugh on the top step of the podium. More to follow.
