Dessie Nutt/Geraldine McBride in a Porsche 911 added another win on the Killarney Historic Stage Rally. After 10 tough stages, they came out ahead of the similar car of John Keatley/Maurice Beckett, with Mervyn Johnston/Richard Hyland the first Mini in third place.

John & Christy Farrell were the well deserved winners of the Post Historic Section after setting the pace from the word go.

Phil Collins/Howard Davies took the classic section, after early pace setter Philip Shaw broke a halfshaft and Donie O'Sullivan had a puncture.
