McCarthy second in class in Northern Ireland Rally Championship

Dublin-based Currow co-driver John McCarthy has moved into second place in class six in the Northern Ireland Rally Championship.

Round three of the five round series, The Loughall Stages, took place on Saturday.

McCarthy and his driver John Devlin finished third in class on the event. The net result is that McCarthy is now joint-second in the series with Justin McCauley but the local man gets the nod on the application of the tie-breaker rules.

The next round is the Tour of the Sperrins on October 16.
