The first rider in action was Tara Callaghan, making her competitive debut in the Under 8 event where she proved she is a name to watch as she led the field from beginning to end to take victory in the girl's race.
In the Under 10 event Callum Gaffney was also making his debut, lining up with Logan McAreavey. Logan was unlucky not to make the podium as a late crash hindered his progress.
Michael O'Rourke and Sean Delaney took part in the Under 14 Boy's race. Aidan managed a top 10 finish, a result that sees him moving into 4th place in the overall standings in the league.
In the Under 16 girl's race Cuchulainn were well represented with Holly McCaffrey, Grace O'Rourke, Edith Murphy and the Dolan Sister's, Rhiannon and Ffion, all lining up.
