We also have news on karting starlet Alyx Coby from Clondalkin who picked up a Fair Play and Sportsmanship Award at the recent Irish Karting Annual C Plate meet.
Moving from four wheels to two, and we chat to Walkinstown’s Killian Callaghan on a brilliant weekend for the mountain biker in France at the Enduro World Series, where he continued to impress in a packed filed full of qua lity and experienced racers.
