Discussions under way to continue Premier Series in 2008

Discussions under way  to continue Premier Series  in 2008

This year’s inaugural series was hailed a worthwhile innovation, achieving its aim of giving the sport a higher profile, while also allowing riders the option to stay at home instead of going abroad for high-quality competition. Each round carried a minimum prizefund of €12,000 and the series was won by Clem McMahon, who also received the use of a Citroen car for 12 months.

Yesterday, SJAI director general Pat Cully said: “The series is definitely going ahead, with 11 rounds to be held. Last week, we had a meeting with the show organisers to discuss requirements.”
