Killarney

The Irish National Enduro Mountain Bike championship took place last weekend in Djouce woods, in County Wicklow.
Killarney had a few riders that made the trip up to the event. The race format had been changed due to COVID-19, in order to keep people separated over the weekend.
The new format was to be three stages do them as many times as you could within four hours with the fastest time on each taken.
Up first on the Saturday saw two riders tackle a difficult and damp course. Eoin Fenton was competing in the master 30s category and finished up in 58th, with a few mistakes. He was only competing for the second time so it was a very solid result in what was a very competitive category.
Jason Murphy Was also racing in the Master 30 category and put together a solid run over the three stages to take second place in his category which guaranteed him a National medal and also a stage win overall.
On Sunday three riders tackled the challenging course. Up first was Adam Murphy who was racing in the boys 14-16 category. Adam made a few little mistakes that cost him valuable time throughout the day. He managed to place seventh and only 10 seconds of a podium position.
In the senior men’s category Killarney had two representatives -Damien McCarthy and Chris Sweetman. Both riders put in fantastic rides, Chris came home in 11th with Damien coming home in 17th in what was a very competitive seniors category.
