Steve Wood and Keith Moriarty have battling win in Wexford

They led through stages five and six and, although they were replaced at the top on stage 11, they regained top spot a stage later and went on to finish 46 seconds ahead of the Escort of Kilkenny’s Enda O’Brien and co-driver John Butler. Tyrone’s Adrian Hetherington and his Wexford co-driver Gary Nolan (Escort) were third.
O’Brien was best on the opening stage where he extricated a seven-second lead over Wood, with Tyrone’s Paddy McVeigh (Subaru WRC) and Cavan’s Gary Kiernan (Escort) tying for third.
