Keith Cronin hoping for slice of luck on return to happy hunting ground in Yorkshire

The Ballylickey driver knows he needs to win in the Dalby forests this weekend. 

AIR SHOT: Ballylickey’s Keith Cronin and Killarney’s Mikie Galvin (VW Polo GTi R5) finished second in the Nicky Grist Rally in Wales this month. 

“It’s quite simple really, we need to win,” declared four-time British Rally champion Keith Cronin in advance of this evening’s Trackrod Rally Yorkshire, the penultimate round of the BRC that begins with a 18-kilometre stage under the cover of darkness in the Dalby forests. 

The Ballylickey driver has to finish ahead of title rival and current leader Welsh ace Osian Pryce, who like Cronin, steers a VW Polo GTi R5. If Pryce wins, he takes the title for the first time.
