Daire Feeley takes ninth win of season with solo victory in Carrick main event

Daire Feeley has been on a roll on the home scene and extended it last weekend with victory in Carrick-on-Suir

Daire Feeley has taken his ninth win of the season with a solo victory in the Bobby Power Memorial in Carrick-on-Suir at the weekend.

On a tough undulating
course, the early breakaway was reduced to four after two laps and was well
established ahead of the chasing peloton.

Eventual winner Feeley
was in that move with his Strata 3-VeloRevolution team mate Riche Maes.

Also present were Liam
Curley (UC Monaco) and Conor Kissane (Killarney CC), making for a small escape
group with plenty of firepower.

With two men in the
move, the Strata 3-VeloRevolution pair played the numbers game, firing Maes up
the road first.

He got clear of the
breakaway on the third lap, leaving Curley and Kissane with no option but to
chase him or let the win ride away up the road.

chase.

When Maes was
eventually reeled in with one lap remaining, Feeley launched himself off the
front and put the head down for the chequered flag.

And that was the way it
stayed to the finish; Feeley taking an impressive solo win with Maes taking 2nd
behind him from Curley and Maes.
