There was a dramatic finish to the Mitchelstown Motors Boggeragh Rallysprint at Nad when Dunmanway’s David Guest and his Millstreet co-driver Liam Moynihan took their Ford Fiesta R5 to a narrow victory - 2.8 seconds ahead of the Ford Focus WRC of Waterford’s Ray Breen and his Wexford co-driver Andy Hayes.

Long-time leaders Ballyvourney’s Gerard Lucey and his Kilnamartyra co-driver JJ Cremin had to settle for third - a further 1.4 seconds behind after they encountered difficulties through the final 5.6-kilometre stage when their Mitsubishi lost power for over a kilometre.
