Donegal Town 'fear an phoist' Paddy McCrudden toasts first overall win

Donegal Town postman Paddy McCrudden got his first overall win at last weekend's Davagh Forest Rally.

McCrudden was on the notes with Strabane’s Jason Mitchell in a VW Polo R5.

Having switched to IN Sport the crew had a busy few weekend's having done the two-day Rally and headed straight to Cork with the car changing to gravel spec in a few hours to do the Jim Walsh Forest Rally.

The recent time certainly had a positive effect in achieving the crew’s first overall win.

They had 26.1 seconds to spare on Jordan Hone and Paul Hone, also in a VW Polo R5.
