Murphy Outguns them all at Stamullen
Conor Murphy, Murphy & Gunn, claimed another major
victory at the Joey Whyte Memorial race at Stamullen, Co Meath on Sunday last.
Conor, fully recovered from a heavy cold and showing the form gained from
recent trips abroad, racing in south Africa and Serbia, was head and shoulders
above the rest of the field.
With 7 miles remaining, Conor jumped clear of a 12 man lead group. However
he was chased down and caught by 4 riders, including Tommy Evans, Terry Dolan.
Com, Ryan Connor, Ballymena Road club and Martin Irvine Ards CC.
Determined to take a solo victory the inform Murphy attacked again and this
time made a decisive move which took him all the way to the finish line to
win a race that he also won in 2004.
Tommy Evans was 2nd, Ryan Connor 3rd and Martin Irvine 4th, making it a clean
sweep of the placing by Ulster riders.
