Two dominant times on the long Killavullen stage were enough to help Kenny McKinstry to a 48 second victory in his Tom Geraghty Tyres backed Subaru Impreza. Dermot Kelly who was fastest on seven of the events ten stages was unable to match McKinstry's pace on the ten mile stage where he lost 56 seconds due to an overheating engine and could not repeat last years win on the Duhallow Park Hotel based event in Kanturk.
