Paul Kennedy has made it three from three at the Newcastle West Wheelers TT League, though Shane O'Connell got much close to the flying Kennedy last night.

Autumn Collins, who has added more of a road focus alongside her track racing, took victory in the women's category.

In the final round of the series Kennedy took a nice cash bonus that
was on offer to anyone who could break the 20-minute marker.

Kennedy
(Spellman Dublin Port) did a 19:55 on the night, for victory and the case
bonus, with Shane O’Connell just nine seconds down; a sign of strong
improvement from the rower turned cyclist.
