Ring and Deasy on brink of title glory

WHAT began as a relatively low profile season for Alan Ring has ended up in a hectic end of season finale that has the former Kerry circuit racer chasing success on three different championships fronts.

Tomorrow, on board their Munster Joinery backed Mitsubishi Evo9, Ring and his Cork co-driver, Adrian Deasy, tackle the Donegal Harvest Rally, the final round of the Dunlop National Rally Championship. They lead the Group N category on the national series.

They have a 13-point lead over their only rivals, Seán Flanagan/Brian Duggan (Subaru) and while there are a number of permutations, the acquisition of seven points will guarantee the Kerry/Cork pair a second national title in three years.
