Moffett brothers prepare for battle at Stonethrowers Rally

The Moffett sibling rivalry is set to dominate Sunday’s Sepam Tipperary Stonethrowers Rally in Clonmel, following the late entry of the elder brother Sam.

The withdrawal of top seed and last year’s winner Darragh O’Riordan due to business commitments means that Josh Moffett’s Ford Fiesta WRC will run first on the road. The younger of the Monaghan brothers had his first taste of a WR car on last year’s Sligo Rally and capped it with a fine win in dry conditions.

His second outing in very different weather conditions was on the Fastnet Rally in Bantry and he opted for safety to secure third overall.
