In-form Ali Macaulay of Phoenix CC took victory at the end of the 83km  Brendan Campbell Memorial in Donore today.

The Belfast man, who won the Waller Cup in Bohermeen earlier in the season and put in a sterling performance at the recent national road race championships, went clear with Chris Reilly of Liquidworx Fitscience on the penultimate of 13 laps.

And despite a strong chase from behind, the duo held a 15 second lead at the bell.

Macaulay proved strongest in the gallop to the line, edging home ahead of Reilly in the final metres for his second win in the Royal County this season.

Evergreen Ken Tobin of Swords CC finished on his own about 20 seconds back but a few lengths ahead of Caldwell Cycles' Paul Mulligan for third, who in turn finished metres ahead of the bunch for fourth.
