Killarney

By Sean Moriarty
<h3>Killarney cyclist Conor Kissane finished third in the Cycling Ireland Hill Climb National Championships on Sunday last.</h3>
Organised by Gaeltacht Cycling Club, participants faced a tough 2.44 kilometre climb, near Moycullen, County Galway.
 Kissane finished third in a time of 4 minutes: 54.10 seconds, he was second in the same championship when it last ran in Castleisland in 2019.
 &ldquo;Any other year I would be disappointed with third but given the year we have had it is not so bad,&rdquo; the Barleymount rider told the Killarney Advertiser.
 &ldquo;It was short climb on quite a steep course.&rdquo;
 The race was won by Joel Luke of UCD Cycling Club, taking the win on the narrowest of margins. Luke was less than one-tenth of a second quicker than Lindsay Watson (Powerhouse Sport) with a time of 4:48.62.
 Fellow Killarney Cycling Club member Ewan Buckley was 16th in the same race.
