The 50th anniversary Joule Donegal International Rally served up more drama than many of its previous classic events and from holding fourth at the beginning of the final leg, Monaghan’s Josh Moffett and his Wexford co-driver Andy Hayes (Hyundai i20 R5) came through to claim their inaugural victory in the most special of events.

Indeed, it was very much a Moffett affair as his older brother Sam along with his Limerick co-driver Keith Moriarty brought their Fiesta WRC home in second spot - 46.7 seconds behind and 2.4 seconds ahead of Welsh aces Meirion Evans/Jonathan Jackson (VW Polo GTi R5).
