Richard Barry (St Finbarr's CC) and Sinead Rock (Midleton CTC) have been crowned Munster cyclocross champions on a very fresh day for racing on the coast of Co Cork. The title races were held at Clayacatle Beach in Youghal, which served up some blustery conditions.

Barry, who lived the dream for a day last Sunday when he competed in the UCI Cyclocross World Cup in Dublin, ran out a very clear winner today; crossing the line in the Youghal Cycling Club promotion almost one minute ahead of his nearest rival.

Dillon Corkery (Verge Pi Cycles) took the silver medal in the elite men's race, some 48 seconds down on Barry. Corkery, a road international, just got the better of Kieran Jackson (Comeragh CC) in what was a very tight conclusion to the silver-bronze scrap; less that a second separating the two.

In the women's elite title race, Rock was best in a small field; winning the title some 1:49 up on her team mate Sally Drennan, who made it a 1-2 for Midleton CTC.

More to come.
