Hugh Óg Mulhearne (Verge Sport PI Cycles) and Ami Flavin (Dungarvan CC) were best in elite races at Munster Cyclocross Series in Watergrasshill, Co Cork, today.

Mulhearne, a first year junior this season, emerged best in what was a tight race, at the front, with U23 and elite riders Michael Collins (Newcastle West CC) and Richard Barry (St Finbarr's CC) breathing down his neck.

However, Mulhearne was 16 seconds up on his two rivals on the line, and was clearly delighted with his victory after seven laps of racing over 52 minutes in the Over The Hill CC promotion.

The battle for the other two places on the podium came down to a tight sprint, won by Barry from Collins.

In the women's race, Flavin claimed victory - after five laps of racing - by just over two minutes from Sally Drennan (Midleton CTC).
