Donegal’s Declan Boyle (Skoda Fabia Rs Rally2) took his first victory in over six years with a late win in the Wexford Volkswagen Rally where long-time leader Ballylickey’s Daniel Cronin was forced to retire when his VW Polo GTi R5 developed a turbo sensor issue on the first stage (SS16) of the final loop. He had entered the stage with a 17.3s lead over Boyle.
