Wright Wins in Omagh
After finishing 4th Fiesta in his prize outing on the Tour of Flanders in Belgium recently, it was back to the gravel of the Hankook Northern Ireland Rally Championship and the McKelvey Bushwhacker Rally for Monaghan’s Stephen Wright. The Killyhevlin Hotel backed Fiesta Sport Trophy champion also moved back to his trusted Fiesta ST after a brief flirtation with an R2 on the Galway Summer Rally and the Belgian event. With sister Susanne in the navigator’s seat, the pair proceeded to dominate the Fiesta category on the Omagh event to finish with a comfortable victory by 1 min 48 secs.
Other Monaghan finishers were Kevin Flanagan, who navigated Donagh Kelly to 3rd overall and Michael Conlon/Matthew McKenna who were 19th overall.
