In class three, the pair set consistent times throughout the day in the M. Kelly Construction and A.B. Contracts Micra to arrive at the finish in a solid third position with more than thirty seconds to spare over their nearest rival.

At the event finish, Kenny said: "It was a good day and thankfully it has been dry as well. I think we were sitting in fourth position for most of the day until Ricky McAlonen in the Nova retired. It was a good run by Aidan Minford in the other Micra and Brian Black who won the class. We're happy with the result."

Consistently setting top five times in their fifteen-strong class on every stage of the event, Colin and Kenny reported no problems during the day.

"No problems at all, only a shortage of tyres. We could have done with a few more but didn't have the budget to buy them," Kenny said. "Now we're hoping to get bigger wheels for tarmac and we've also decided to do Bishopscourt as the new engine won't be arriving until late March."

The Bishopscourt Stages Rally is due to take place on March 15. It is the second round of the Northern Ireland Rally Championship and Colin Britton and Kenny Hull are determined to build on their recent success at Kirkistown.
