Cronin set a blistering pace and his time of 1:28.50 could not be beaten despite the best efforts of Mark Dolphin who set a time of 1:28.84. Class 1 was yet again a close affair with Ger Lynch taking the honours in his Starlet by just 2 seconds from the Civic of Victor Beamish with Conor Bradley 3rd. Class 2 saw Ian Stanley take the top spot from Owen Murphy while Gerard O’ Connell was the sole entrant in class 3. James Lehane won Class 4 with Jimmy Lucey taking the class 5 honours in his Special. Mark Dolphin won class 6 for motorbike engined special and the Junior class battle was won by David Beamish with Denis Nagle 2nd.
