Motorsport: Moffett tops once more in Abbeyleix
For the second year in succession, Monaghan’s Josh Moffett (Hyundai i20 R5) won the Abbeyleix Manor Hotel Rally, this time finishing 27.1 seconds ahead of the similar car of Antrim’s Desi Henry. Sheffield driver Ollie Mellors (Proton Iriz R5) was third.
On the opening stage, Moffett was 4.3 seconds ahead of Henry whose amended time was given to all the other competitors after Maynooth’s Ian Barrett crashed his Darian T90. Competitors had to deal with copious amounts of standing water on S.S. 2 where Moffett was quickest once more to move 8.6 seconds ahead of Henry with Mellors 7.1 seconds further behind third.
