In August, Eammon Byrd got 3rd place in the Leinster Hill Climb Championships and in October he won a silver medal in the national hill climb championships. Eammon also won a bronze in the VETS over 50 track pursuit. There were plenty of good results and placings for other DWCC members racing in open races throughout the year (too many to mention).

In August Josh Murphy won the Master 60 championship.

VETS racing was very strong this year with several top 3 placements. 1st place wins included Gareth Robinson (x3), Ronan Mc Donald, Kevin Mc Feely & Martin Mc Gonagle. Peter Rice won medals for the Masters over 60s and Leinster track championships. In October Eammon Byrd won the Vets Hill Climb Championship.

This year we ran our Open Race early in the season and hosted one round of the Women’s racing series in Corkagh Park.

We managed to run a full club league this year. A massive thanks to club members volunteering each week to help with the marshalling. The club league would not have been possible without this level of support. The league required 152 marshalling duties to be assigned across all the events. In some cases, many volunteers covered multiple events.

Club League prizes will be presented at our Christmas function this year.

DWCC encourages all members to consider racing and give it a try. We are always looking for new racing members.

DWCC Committee is looking forward to planning and supporting the 2023 racing season and thanks to everyone for their support and help in 2022.
