The inaugural Slane Cycles Cycling Ulster-NICF Series reaches the penultimate round on Sunday with the Tour of Armagh. At the top of the table Ryan Connor maintains his lead that he has held since winning round 1, the Wallace Caldwell Memorial back in March.

Winner of the last round, the 4 Masters classic in Donegal, Peter Hawkins (Usher - IRC) moves in to second spot overall only 18 points off the lead.

With the Tour of Armagh on Sunday, and the final counter Ballymena Road Club`s Red Hand Trophy re-scheduled for Sat 1 Sept, there is still all to play for in the inaugural series that has drawn support from across the country.
