Conditions were again perfect for the second 2Up of the season on the Temple-Saintfield-Temple route. Considering the sun was shining and not a breath of wind to be found, it was surprising that only 14 turned up. I put the low turn out down to the fear factor of being drawn with Edna.
Desi, who was acting as timekeeper, drew the names and Damian’s face was a picture as he was once again drawn with Edna. He is still convinced that the draw was rigged.
First place was no surprise as Edna and Damian posted a blistering time of 27.20. Well done also to Peter McGuicken, Bill Rafferty and Ricky Cowan and myself, who finished second and third respectively
Next race on the 16th June is the Carryduff, Ballygowan, Carryduff route.
