All Ireland Cyclo Cross League Round 4

Banbridge, November 15, 2003

Aiken Once Again

By Shane Stokes

With just two rounds remaining, Roger Aiken looks assured of victory in the All Ireland cyclo-cross league after taking his third win in four races at the Banbridge Academy round on Saturday. Aiken overcame what was up to a six-minute handicap to overhaul the rest of the field, the 22 year old finishing 1 minute and 36 seconds ahead of his clubmate Don Travers with Team WORC's Dave Gill taking third. XMTB's Robert Lamont, Banbridge CC's Samuel Curran and Peter McSorley (Apollo CC) were next home, all finishing within a minute of each other. XMTB's Christy Brown had looked set for fifth place but slipped to seventh when he suffered mechanical problems on the final lap.

Co. Meath rider Eoin Sheridan (MOB CC) was best of the under 16 riders, finishing ahead of Alaister McSorley (Apollo) and Nathan McCormick (Banbridge). Ian Galloway (WORC) from Wicklow won the Under 14 race.
