Kelly and Flanagan poised for first title

All season long Donagh Kelly (Ford Focus WRC) has been a consistent barometer of pace in the Triton Showers National Rally Championship. 

In terms of points, the Donegal driver and his Derry co-driver Kevin Flanagan have converted their dominance to a near perfect score – 112 from a possible 115 points.

Their journey across all four provinces has also been accompanied with reliability – always a key component for national success. On Sunday at the McCormack Opel/Sligo Park Hotel Rally, the sixth round of the series, the pair can clinch their first national title and lift the Vard Memorial Trophy, one of the most prestigious pieces of silverware in Irish motorsport.
