Cronins dominate Rathkeale House Hotel Circuit of Munster Rally

Jun 04, 2018

Four times British Rally champion Keith Cronin, from Ballylickey in West Cork, headed a family 1-2 in Sunday’s Rathkeale House Hotel Circuit of Munster Rally, leading from start to finish as he beat his younger brother by almost two minutes over the nine stages.

Keith, with regular co-driver Mikie Galvin, used the day to get more accustomed to his new Hyundai i20 R5 before the next cross-Channel round as he mounts his defence of last year’s British series BRC, while Daniel and his co-driver J J Cremin in their Ford Fiesta were more than half a minute ahead of third placed Ed Synan and Tom Collins in a Subaru Impreza.
