John Caffrey has taken overall victory at the Duane Delaney Grand Prix on the Sundrive Rd velodrome in south Dublin.
The Lucan CRC rider competed in the second tier of three groups - A, B and C - during the racing on Saturday. His victory in three of the events contested and his runner-up slot in the fourth race gave him a 31 point tally.
That made him the clear winner in the B group and also overall.
In the A category things were more competitive with Hugo Brennan (Sundrive Track Team) coming out on top with 24 points, just two ahead of team mate Eamon Byrne, with Jason Howick of Bray Wheelers a further point adrift.

The C group on the day was won by Edward Kearns of Bray Wheelers from David Mullin and Richie Grant, both of whom ride for Sundrive Track Team.
The unique event is run on a points system accrued over four events. Riders are split into groups based on ability, similar to the Sundrive League.
The events contested include the flying 200m TT, kilo dash, scratch race, standing start 500m TT. Points are awarded in each event for the top eight, from 8 to 1 point.
And while riders only race against those in the same category, the overall winner is the rider from any category who claims the most points, making the event unique.
