Ballymena Road Club – Chain Reaction Cycles- held their "postponed” Rex Bonar cup 25 miles road race at Broughshane last Monday evening.
The riders went off in three groups at the start and by the end of the second lap, of the five miles Lisnamurrcan circuit, groups one and two were together.
It was to stay this way until group two rider, Nigel Kernohan, made his move on the hill on the final lap and broke clear of the leading group.
He kept going and won by 25 seconds, in 1 hour 4 minutes 30 seconds. Nigel’s training partner Ryan Currie, who had started with the scratch group, came through late on the last lap to take second place with another scratch rider – Michael Carroll, who lives on the circuit, taking third.
