The 23rd edition of the Charleville Two-Day Road race took place in Cork last Saturday and Sunday, with a strong field for the last stage race of the year.

Killarney Cycling Club had Frank Doherty, John Blackwell, Luke Costelloe, Milo Donaldson and Shane Spellman lining out in the A2/A3/Junior race and Pierce Curtin taking to the start of the A3/Masters/A4 race.

Costelloe and Doherty were fortunate to slip through a late crash on Stage One to contest the bunch sprint and finished fourth and sixth respectively.

Luke continued his strong form, after recent participation in the Junior Tour of Wales, to make the winning break of Stage 3, to finish 11th on the stage and the General Classification for the weekend.

In his first season of racing with Killarney Cycling Club, Pierce Curtin has shown to be a natural, finishing eighth on the opening stage and second on the third test to secure fourth overall in the General Classification in the A3/Masters/A4 race.
