Roger Aiken (above) of Banbridge CC has added another Ulster cyclocross crown to his long list of palmares both off road and on, taking the title race in Cookstown today, Sunday.
The national champion took victory from a very much in-form Glen Kinning (East Antrim-Audi), with Ronan McLaughlin (An Post-Chainreaction) in third.
The race doubled as round 8 of the Ulster Cyclocross Series and while David Montgomery was 3rd over the line, he is a junior rider and so took the junior title but was not eligible for the elite bronze. That medal then passed to McLaughlin, who was 4th home.
The women's title went to Claire Oakley, with Lisa Millar in 2nd and emerging rider Shenna McKiverigan in 3rd. With the junior gold bagged by Montgomery, Rory Maguire took silver and Darnell Moore bronze.
