 |
| The race start - 30 laps of a 1.5km circuit |
 |
| Straight into the attack is Philip Lavery with Paul Healion |
 |
| They are joined by John Mason and have a small gap on lap 1 |
 |
| A great crowd turned out for the event |
 |
| Martyn Irvine attacks on lap 2 and a chasing rider crashes on the hairpin bend at the bottom of the course |
 |
| The bunch avoid the fallen rider with great professionalism |
 |
| Irvine still in the lead as the chase hots up behind |
 |
| Nicolas Roche makes several attacks but is heavily marked |
 |
| Irvine is joined by Paul Healion and Simon Williams |
 |
| A few laps later it down to tow leaders |
 |
| The bunch is a bit dis-organised |
 |
| Healion and Williams share the work and maintain a good tempo |
 |
| Tom Martin, the brother of Daniel and cousin of Nicolas Roche was also in the race |
 |
| Roche has another attempt to get across to the leaders with 8 laps to go |
 |
| With two laps remaining the strain shows |
 |
| Roche joins up with Irvine and Arron Buggle and get within 9 secs of the leaders |
 |
| The Engraveit.ie team organise a chase but left it too late |
 |
| 50 metres to go Williams goes first but hasn't got the legs to beat Healion |
 |
