Dawson to defend title with new look team against star studded line-up

KEVIN DAWSON will be defending his Credit Union Ras Mumhan title in Kerry over the Easter Weekend when the race will attract a record number of overseas riders.

The teak tough Englishman is one of three former winners of the title in the line-up - joining the 2001 winner Eugene Moriarty and the 2000 winner Paddy Moriarty - in a star studded line-up.

But he will have a new look team comprised of some leading UK under-23 riders to back him.
