Focused Kelly king of the road in West Cork

Motorsport: Back to back victories in the Quality Hotel West Cork Rally are rare achievements.

However, Donegal’s Donagh Kelly and Derry co-driver Kevin Flanagan became only the third crew in the event history to claim the unique feat.

Leading from the start, their KN Network-liveried Ford Focus WRC finished one minute and 9.1 seconds ahead of the Ford Fiesta WRC of Monaghan’s Sam Moffett and his Bandon co-driver Karl Atkinson. The Monaghan/Kerry combination of Stephen Wright/Mikie Galvin (Ford Fiesta R5) were third.
