Hide AdThe race started on the Rathfriland Rd via Annaclone, Rathfriland Hill, Ballyroney,Moneyslane, Katesbridge, Corbet and finished at Ballydown.
The weather was good and the course was tough.
The turnout was fantastic with 42 Riders split into four groups.
Another very impressive Scratch Group contained Paul Wilkinson, Roger Aiken, Cameron McIntyre, James Curry, Nathan Mullan, Gavin Magowan, Gary Crory, Stevie Cunningham, Davy McKnight and Lindsay Watson.
The first rider off was Andrea Cunningham on her own and she rode a very good race. Her partner Dee Cantley of the Wheelers is still out injured.

Hide AdThe big climb up Rathfriland Hill was expected to be tough and all the groups were expected to lose riders but it turned out only a few lost contact.
By Katesbridge groups one, two and three had emerged to leave one big group.
So the race was on to hold off the scratch group who were flying round with reports that young James Curry was pulling them up Katesbridge straight at 32mph which was very impressive.
Just past Ballydown school the Scratch group caught the big group to leave a sprint to the line.
In the end, Cameron McIntyre took the win.
