For six of the seven stages of the Rentokil-Initial Killarney Historic Rally, World Rally star Craig Breen and Northern Ireland Rally champion Belfast’s Jonny Greer fought a tremendous battle and shared identical times prior to the final stage - a first ever third run through Moll’s Gap. 

Breen in the ex-Frank Meagher Sierra Cosworth, that was restored to its 1992 Circuit of Ireland winning livery and Greer’s Sierra Cosworth 4x4 were virtually inseparable throughout the day, indeed, they were also level after the second stage as both pushed to the maximum.
