2018 Covey/Western Lakes League
Bryan Hyland has taken the win in the third and final round of the Covey Western Lakes League 2018, and with it the overall title. A strong support cast ensured Bryan had all the help he needed to get the job done in style. Srah was the venue yet again as the route using Maire Lukes climb was unavailable. Westport filled 8 of the top 10 on the night and 6 in the overall top 10 so well done to all that took part.

Top 10 from round 2 of a poorly attended Covey\Western Lakes race in Srah. Despite working hard for the duration 9 minutes font to back was too much of a gap for the scratch group to close. Groups 1 and 2 came together on the last lap with Bryan Hyland taking the win from Michael Flynn. All change at the top of the table too with the top 3 from the previous round not in attendance. Western Lakes Paul Feeney takes over at the top and is the man to beat next Wednesday for the final round which takes in Maura Lukes Climb. And offers up 20 minute handicaps to give the scratch group no chance again.

This league follows a similar format to recent years where we as a club compete over the course of 3 rounds with our neighbouring club Western Lakes. It is usually a very competitive league and although we are rival clubs there is great camaraderie between the two clubs. It is a step up from the Covey League but perhaps a little less daunting than the Mayo League and so is ideal for those wishing to push themselves on that little bit more this year.
Details of all rounds are as follows. Check in Here for results and standings after each round!
The 1st round takes place Wednesday May 30th.
Sign on for all rounds at Partry Soccer Club from 6.30-7.00pm. Race starts at 7.15pm at the junction for Westport.
Cost is €8 for one round, €15 for two rounds or €20 for all 3 rounds
This league is available to anyone with a limited competition licence or higher
