Maguire heading for victory in Monaghan rally

Garnering 27 seconds from stages four, five and six, Niall Maguire and co-driver, Paul McLaughlin, in a Subaru WRC, now lead the Hillgrove Hotel Monaghan Rally, the second round of the Dunlop National Rally Championship, by 41 seconds.

Fellow Monaghan driver, Adrian McElvaney is his closest rival but Maguire should be able to maintain his position on the final three stages.
