The 2022 Cross-Country National Point Series (Round 1) hosted by my beloved club Ards CC at the Lead mines in Newtownards, Co-Down…A wet day it was yesterday (Sat 30 April) but a very competitive event all around!! Darnell Moore (Caldwell Cycles) wins the Senior Men 1, his second win in Ards, after winning the TOA Classic road race in March!!
“The Devil does it all” when it comes to Martin Grimley…setting up camp, podium and time team gazebo, commissaire the races and time chief, podium and prize presentation co-ordinator, writing reports of the race, and publishing full results after events…and also running 5 websites during the week, including his home club Dromara CC website…in the winter the CX and from April the MTB events…now that is a dedication to our sport, don’t you think? Not only chapeau Martin…enormous respect too!!
