Kilkenny man to the fore in Nations Cup

Muckalee's Aaron Coogan had a weekend to remember in the Spanish city of Valencia, finishing 3rd in the Tillotson T4 Nations Cup as part of Team Ireland karting.

The Kilkenny driver became the first Irish driver to win the T4 Junior trophy at the Nations Cup.

Aaron won the Motorsport Ireland Tillotson T4 Junior Championship earlier this year, earning him the opportunity to race in Valencia.

The Muckalee man regularly trains at the Kiltorcon Raceway Circuit in Ballyhale, considered one of the best karting circuits in the country.
