Collins Christle Memorial

Kilmessan, September 8, 2002

Two for two for O'Laughlin

By Shane Stokes

After winning the previous day's Beechmount Cup David O'Loughlin made it two for two when the Mayo man and nine other riders went clear with two and a half laps to go and opened a decisive lead over the remainder of the field.

With nine miles remaining, O'Loughlin raced clear from this group and rode strongly to eke out a 40 second winning margin by the line. Second place went to the impressive national junior champion Páidí O'Brien (Kanturk Credit Union), who proved faster than Greg Swinard (Usher IRC) , Eddie O'Donoghue (Cidona Carrick) and six others in the finishing sprint.

Philip Cassidy (Cycleways Lee Strand) won the bunch gallop to take eleventh place and the first veterans prize, while the senior 2, 3, junior and women's awards went to Mark Colbert (Cidona Carrick Wheelers), Ken Moloney (Navan Avonmore), Páidí O'Brien and Gillian Martin (Bray Wheelers) respectively.
