Cavan Navigation Trial - 5-6 Mar 05

Posted: March 10, 2005 11:23 AM

Arthur Kierans and Conor Maguire got the better of Derek Coleman and Lee Annett for third overall on the basis of furthest cleanest, but last season’s national champion driver and his ever improving novice navigator have certainly become a force to be reckoned with for overall placings this season. Recently crowned National champions Andy Mackarel and Liam Higgins were fifth this time, and look strongly placed to add the Border series to their collection of titles in the final round in a fortnight.
