Surviving an off road excursion on the opening stage that damaged the front of his Subaru WRC and suffering two punctures on the third stage, Maynooth's, Kevin Barrett, made a superb recovery to win the Galway Summer Rally, the eighth round of the Dunlop National Rally Championship.

At the finish, Barrett and his co-driver, Damien Connolly, were six seconds in front of the Subaru WRC of Niall Maguire/Enda Sherry.
