Local success at Rally Isle of Man

by isleofman.com 12th July 2009

In the Conister Trust Historic Rally, Dessie Nutt and Geraldine McBride won the category one class in their Porsche 911 with locals Stephen Higgins and David Corlett in third position.

Steve Smith took the honours in category two, with John Nichols co-driving.

Local Derek Boyd and daughter Roisin were fourth with Matthew Carter and Mark Collister 14th.

Gwyndaf Evans and Huw Lewis were fastest through every stage in the Historic Rally. Indeed, had they been competing in the International event, they could have finished third - in a 30 year-old car.

They came home more than five minutes ahead of Phil Collins and Diarmud Falvey in the category three class.

Ian and Rivka Corkill were the best locals in fifth place.

Welshman Matt Edwards and Manx co-driver Rob Fagg completed back to back victories on the Isle of Man Challenge Rally.

Local Ramsey driver David Radcliffe scored an excellent top three finish, with Steve Hartley in his Suzuki Swift.

Home driver George Collister completed a hat-trick of wins on the Isle of Man Trophy Rally with Janet Craine on the notes.

Brothers Lee and David Batty were second.
