Alastair Martin, webmaster http://www.ardscc.co.uk/ told his followers “Thanks to everyone who made it such a great event – Our sponsor B9 Energy Storage. Race director Kieran McKenna, chief marshal Richard Williams, and the committee who organised the event, All our volunteer marshals, motor bike marshals, drivers and lead cars. Ian Barfoot on the photo finish, the St John Ambulance, All the riders – we had over 70 entries, although unfortunately the Ards riders were struck down with lurgy!! The commissaires – the experienced and charming double act of Laura Wilson and Jack Watson. The Belgian Project for media services, and the Portaferry GAA club, for letting us use their hall”
