Motorsport: Boyle on brink of national championship hat-trick

By Martin Walsh

Tomorrow’s Jackson’s Hotel Donegal Harvest Rally — the final, deciding round of the Triton Showers National Rally Championship — is awash with entries, with 40 reserves awaiting a late call-up for the 141-start list. Series leader, Donegal’s Declan Boyle (Ford Fiesta WRC), can play the percentage game. A top-eight championship finish will be sufficient to secure him the Vard Memorial Trophy and a record-equalling, third national title.
