O’Brien, Moffett go head-to-head for title

Tomorrow’s Glens of Antrim Rally, the final round of the Valvoline Irish Forest Rally Championship, is a case of winner not necessarily taking all, as former champion, Cork- born Michael O’Brien (Ford Focus WRC) and Monaghan’s Josh Moffett (Mitsubishi) are locked in combat to claim the title.

The Churchtown native won the title two years ago while last season Moffett lost out by the narrowest of margins.

The series is based on the best five scores from seven rounds and while O’Brien has a strong lead having competed in one more event than Moffett, the balance of superiority swings in favour of Moffett when the dropped scores are taken into account.
