Derek Humphries accepting the trophy for 1st place in the Club Championship race. Alan Kelly presented the prize.
Johnny Holland took top spot in the Joe McNally League.
Ciarán Handley was second over all in the Joe McNally League.
Michael Wall was 3rd over all in the Joe McNally League.
Frank Pierce was first youth in the Joe McNally League.
Brendan Furey was first man in the Touring League, sponsored by Humphries Cycles. Joe Doyle made the presentation.
Donal McMonagle was second man in the touring league.
Tony O’Malley was club champion in the 25 mile TT. You think he would look happy about it.
Slightly better. Tony O’Malley’s normal ice-cold killer look is betrayed by a slight upturn of the mouth as he accepts his prize as joint club 10 mile TT champion. John Rowan (not pictured) tied with him.
Bernie O’Brien is the first woman in the touring league.
Tony Hyland looking smug having just collected the prize for “best tattoo on a right arm”.
Stephen Cleary is not happy with only getting second in the “best arm tattoo” category. Next year, Stephen, next year.
There’s Frank Pierce again, this time accepting the award for Junior Club Champion.
Damien Donlon was the first vet in the Joe McNally League.
Olivier Ansaldi collecting hist outstanding achievement award for completing Paris-Brest-Paris, an exhausting (and essentially non-stop) 1200 km ride. Chapheau.
Evelyn Doyle was second woman in the touring league.
Alicja Roslaniec was first woman in the Joe McNally League.
Olivier is pleased with his award, and rightly so as he deserved it.
