Fresh results in from this weekends racing in Kinsale (Sprint), Kilkenny (Sprint+Olympic) and 'Beast of the East' (Olympic).  In Kinsale the rain held off, a lovely day there really, where Tom O Donnell took category victory on the tough sprint course. It's not called 'King of the Hill' for noting!  An excellent result from Eoin Gamble placing  second in his category after ignoring doctor's advice to rest up after a recent ailment, but as Eoin said at the finish line 'Pain is temporary, club pide is forever'. Darragh Dunne finished with a top 10 in the race.  A very enjoyable race down there with credit to Cork Tri Club.  Amazing to see the ability of elite Bryan Keane who took Kinsale victory with ease. Kinsale results here. In Kilkenny reports still coming in but we hear that Niall Maloney had a great sprint event to finish a fantastic 7th in the overall results there, we'll post more on this new event as the news comes in.
