Higgins claims second spot

Manxman Mark Higgins took second place in the Lurgan Rally on Saturday.

He and co-driver Michael Gibson finished 11 seconds behind Kevin Lynch and Francis Regan as Lynch took the title for the fifth year running!

Kenny and Susan McKinstry were a further eight seconds behind Higgins in third place.

After the race, Higgins said: ‘Fair play to Kevin Lynch, he drove brilliantly. I think if I had picked different tyres it could have been closer but I don’t think I could have beaten him.’
