A large field participated in the 9th annual Mick Cahill Memorial Cycle Race promoted by Banteer Cycling Club on Sunday, 14th March.

The A1 and A2 races were the first to start. A break of 5 riders got away on the first lap (including Sean Lacey, Mick Fitzgerald, Niall Brosnan (The Edge Cycling Club) and Aidan Gallery (Limerick CC) and soon opened up a gap of a minute. This gap hovered at around this level but at one stage grew to over a minute and a half. In the last lap Sean Lacey jumped and quickly opened up a gap of 57 seconds staying clear to the end. The main bunch came close to catching the remaining trio from the original group but they held on finishing 15 seconds ahead of the chasing bunch. Mick Fitzgerald and Niall Brosnan made it a 123 for The Edge Cycling Club. With Aidan Gallery coming in fourth.
