Cork 20 International Rally Superb win for Midletons Darragh O' Riordan and success for Imokilly Motor Club and Youghals Jason Ryan.
This Year’s Cork 20 rally was all about East Cork and in particular Darragh O' Riordan in the Subaru Impreza who took a fantastic win on the event to make it two wins in the Tarmac Championship for Darragh and his co driver Tony McDaid , From the start Darragh was near the front and as the tricky night stages ended he was perfectly placed to pile on the pressure on Sunday . That the Midleton man did in fine style holding his head but remaining at the top of the time sheets it was a fantastic end to the Tarmac Championship and showed that Darragh the man from Midleton is now one of the top drivers in the country with a win in The Rally of the Lakes earlier in the year and the win on the Cork 20 the first Cork man since Billy Coleman in the Metro in 1986,with all that and other good results a super second in the Tarmac Championship was achieved this is the year that Darragh O Riordan established himself as a house hold name in Irish Rallying.

Jason Ryan in the Kia Motors Youghal Civic had a fantastic rally and won the modified section of the rally initially second to the 330bhp Escort of Davy Armstrong Jason upped his pace on the Sunday and on one stage took a massive 27 seconds out of Armstrong to win in fine style in the nimble Civic a spongy brake pedal caused a few moments but it was a great victory for Jason and his times on the stages would have put him into the top 10 overall.

For the Imokilly Motor Club it was a tough weekend running the spectator stage of the Cork 20 ment many lads spent from 12 in the morning till near 12 at night setting up and cleaning up after the stage was run . However for the even more dedicated after the clean up the lads headed for the Macroom area to be on the stages before 6 in the morning so it was an all nighter for the lads who while tired knew their contribution to the Cork 20 rally made it happen.Quickest of the IMC competitors was once again Allen Treacy third overall in the National section of the rally his times were also good enough for a top ten spot in the main field . Going hard in the Honda Civic was James Fitzgerald and Eoin Fitzgerald taking a class win and Michael Murphy and Patsy Cashman had a good run in the Corolla .In the main field Brian O Keeffe had a good run and was 10th overall in his Gp N Impreza.
