Motorsport: Murphy faces quality field in Historic Rally defence

A magnificent silver trophy in honour of the late Maurice Nagle awaits the winners of tomorrow’s Rentokil-Initial Killarney Historic Rally that has attracted a superb entry.
The Aghadoe native, who passed away last December, was the brainchild behind the event, Ireland’s only dedicated historic rally that was first run in 1996. Shortly after 8am tomorrow morning, last year’s winner, Cork driver Owen Murphy, will set off up Moll’s Gap, the first of the eight stages, in the David Percy hired Ford Escort.
