Shinnors faces tough challenge in Carbery

Tomorrow night’s Carbery Navigation Trial in Leap in West Cork is the second round of the Munster Navigation Trial Championship. Local crews will be expected to dominate the 115km event although Limerick’s Alan Shinnors and George Shinnors (Subaru), who won last week’s Cork Startrek Navigation Trial, should again be to the forefront.

The Carbery Navigation Trial is headquartered at the Kilmacabea GAA Clubhouse in Leap. Check-in starts at 8pm and the first car away is at 11pm. The route is based on Ordnance Survey Sheet 89 (Fourth Edition).

The organisers of the Cork Startrek Navigation Trial relayed incorrect results due to an oversight. In last Monday’s Irish Examiner it was stated that the Shinnors cousins took victory on a tie-break, however, that wasn’t the case as it was second spot that was the centre of the tie-break between the Lissarda/Drinagh pair of Donal Healy/Denis O’Donovan (Toyota Starlet) and the Leap/Lisavaird combination of Dermot Whelton/Mark McCarthy (Subaru), who both finished with four penalties — with the former securing second, based on the regulations on tie-breaks.
