There were some very good results from a 10 strong Drogheda Wheelers team who competed in the Charleville 2 Day stage race at the weekend. In the A3 category, club champion Barry Hughes had a very impressive 9th place finish on the 86km first stage. Barry was among an elite group of only 10 riders who finished more than three minutes clear of the peloton. Barry again finished in the leading group on the tough 91km final stage to finish 11th on General Classification.
In A4, Brendan McEntee finished in the points with a 7th place on stage 1 while Mark Lynch rode a very impressive Time Trial to finish 9th. Indeed, a consistent showing from the A4 team throughout, saw them finish 2nd overall in the team General Classification, just 01’20” behind winners De Ronde van Cork.
