Peadar Hurson leads all the way in Galway Summer Rally

Warrenpoint driver Peadar Hurson secured a splendid victory in the 4x4 Exporter Galway Summer Rally, the penultimate round of the Triton Showers National Rally Championship.

Leading all through, Hurson and his Monaghan co-driver Damien Connolly in their Formula Karting liveried S10 Subaru WRC finished with a winning margin of a minute and 9.1 seconds.

The chase for second ebbed and flowed throughout the nine stages but at the finish the Monaghan pair of Niall Maguire/Enda Sherry (Subaru WRC) were best of the rest. Donegal’s Declan Gallagher/Ryan Moore (Toyota Starlet) were just nine-tenths of a second behind in third. The Kerry/Cork pairing of Alan Ring/Adrian Deasy (Subaru WRC) were fourth.
