Doherty’s lead then disaster strikes
by Declan McCay
Local boys the Daniel and Michael Doherty were well ahead of the opposition, Niall Maguire, and in a commanding lead of over 10 after the first stage, during the first half of the Harvest Stages Rally, when disaster struck on the stage 3, forcing the Carndonagh crew out after a major off on the Mamore Gap stage.
The event was then lead by Maguire after this until the end of the event, adding to his dominant position this year.

After a cold but dry start to the Donegal event, the weather turned what drivers call ‘wet and guttery’. Added to the cold conditions of the day, many of the drivers had a poor day. Letterkenny’s Andrew Stewart kept up the pressure on Maguire, closely followed by the Castlederg charger, James Gillen. Both men were unable to do the business, and left Maguire to make it another win.

Ivan Steward had a few big moments, and was a slightly delayed only making it into service before penalties were incurred.
Drive of the day again, was the Letterkenny crew of Paul Gallagher and Karl Reid in the ancient Corolla, held off by the Donegal pairing of Stephen Harris and Damian Crawford, in a hired ‘Hogg’ car, after a dramatic sale earlier in the week.
