Richard Meaney of Westport Covey Wheelers took a fine win for the host club on the opening day of Rás Maigh Eo over the weekend but he was beaten in the time-trial on Sunday morning by Caimin Muldoon of Aquablue.
Muldoon would retain the jersey on the final stage and win outright by a meagre three seconds.
