Davy Walsh in action at the velodrome at the National Track Champs in Dublin.
Another great result for Davy Walsh taking 3rd place and a Bronze medal at the National Track Champs in the Kilo. Davy posted a super time of 1min 12.94sec for the kilometer from a standing start – not bad!
Meanwhile Frank Dunne took 6th place on the opening stage of the Bog Week 2 day in Galway followed by 6th in the TT and 8th in the final stage.
Best of luck to Davy who competes in the National Track Champs in Sundrive Rd on Saturday. Davy has already taken a Bronze medal earlier this year in the National Omnium champs in his first season on the track. No great opposition for him this weekend – only the likes of World Champ Martyn Irvine, Eoin Mullen etc. etc.!
Good luck also to Frank Dunne who heads west to the Bog Week 2 Day.
