Team Car is getting well used. Today nine Wexford Wheelers travelled to Newbridge,great results for both Simon who came 4th and Albert 5th in A4 race.Luke and Johny finished in the group in A3 race .Conor and Martin had a great ride in the combined A1/2 .     

The annual festive hamper race took place on Sunday last in pleasant winter sunshine, using the facilities of  Mick Wallace’s Ferrycarrig Park and attracted a large turnout of  75 riders, 55 senior and 20 underage.  And what the senior riders were competing for were five very fine hampers sponsored by Celtic Link Ferries who are celebrating the addition of  the “Norman Voyager” to their Ireland-France route.

The race took place over five laps of the circuit around Ferrycarrig Park and spectators were treated to a very fast closely fought contest that in the end went to twice Milk Ras winner, Philip Cassidy, Dunboyne CC, followed closely by David Walsh, Wexford Wheelers in second place and Robin Kelly of Comeragh  CC in third. Fourth was Wexford Wheelers Club Person of the Year Conchubair O Crualaoich.  The aforementioned were all part of a breakaway group from the main field which was led in by racing legend Sean Kelly.
