Robinson Wins Martin Kennedy ’10’

Hailstones in June was what the riders faced tonight in the Dave Kane Time Trial League at Glenshane. Starting off in dry conditions, the skies opened on the approach to the Castledawson roundabout and hailstones pelted the riders. In what was far from an easy night it was super veteran Ivan Robinson of Ards CC who recorded the fastest time of the night with his 21.33. This also saw him win the Martin Kennedy Memorial Trophy presented by Tony Blayney of Old Bleach. Robinson was particularly pleased with this win as he said, "I have been second in the Martin Kennedy event twice so I am delighted that I have finally won it."

Next best on the night was Clann Eireann's John Heverin who came in at 21.47. Good rides were recorded by Simon Stockton (Team Madigan) and Paddy McCallion of North Pole CC who both recorded a 21.59. They along with Robinson and Heverin were the only riders to go below 22 minutes.

The event tonight was promoted by Carn Wheelers. Half the club turned out to help with three marshalls on the roundabout and every single junction covered along the entire ten miles. This was a superb turnout and many of the riders and supporters commented on the marshalling. However Carn Wheelers have already shown in the events they have promoted this year that they are up for a challenge and will do a good job. Many thanks to all at the club for such great support.
