Donagh Kelly still king of the Lakes

Donegal’s Donagh Kelly and his Monaghan co-driver Conor Foley campaigned their KN Network supported Ford Focus WRC to back-to-back wins on the Cartell.ie Rally of the Lakes in Killarney. 

They capitalised on yesterday’s retirement of overnight leaders Garry Jennings/Rory Kennedy, who crashed their Subaru WRC on the stage at Beallaghbeama early yesterday.

Second spot — 49.6 seconds in arrears — went to the Northern Ireland duo of Alastair Fisher/Gordon Noble (Fiesta R5), who are the new leaders of the Clonakilty Blackpudding Irish Tarmac Championship. The Monaghan/Cork combination of Sam Moffett/Karl Atkinson (Fiesta R5) were 37.9 seconds further behind in third.
