Dominating the Midland Moto Rally in Longford, the second round of the Triton Showers National Rally Championship, Monaghan\u2019s Sam Moffett (Ford Fiesta WRC) took a convincing win to extend his lead in the national series.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Co-driven by Cork\u2019s Karl Atkinson they finished a minute and 9.9 seconds ahead of the Ford Fiesta WRC of reigning champions Clonmel\u2019s Roy White and his Cork co-driver James O\u2019Brien. Donegal\u2019s, Manus Kelly\/Gareth Doherty (Subaru WRC) were 21.1 seconds further behind in third.<\/p>\n

Tyrone\u2019s Adrian Hetherington (Escort) and his co-driver Andrew Greenan
\nWon the Modified section \u2013 55.9 seconds ahead of Donegal\u2019s Brian Brogan and his co-driver Damien McGettigan.<\/p>\n

Stage by stage Moffett increased his lead as Declan Boyle led the pursuit, however, a number of time-consuming spins cost him vital time, his rally ended when he hit a chicane on Stage 7 and his Ford Fiesta WRC ended up in a field.<\/p>\n

Initially, that promoted Manus Kelly into second but he lost time and a place on the penultimate stage.
\nNiall Maguire (Subaru) finished fourth with Adrian Hetherington (Escort) fifth, for most of the rally Maynooth\u2019s Ian Barrett led the Modified section until his Darrian stopped with mechanical woes on the penultimate stage.<\/p>\n

In the Motorsport Safety Group N category Cork\u2019s David Guest (Mitsubishi) took a 4.3 seconds win over the similar car of Neil Tohill.<\/p>\n
