Garry Jennings guided his Subaru WRC to an emphatic win in the Hotel Ballina/Kennedy Motors Mayo Rally on the first weekend of the Triton Showers National Rally Championship.
At the conclusion of the nine-stage rally, Jennings was one minute 34.8 seconds clear of the Subaru of Peadar Hurson.
Monaghan’s Niall Maguire was 41.2 seconds further adrift in third.
Jennings mastered the wet and slippery conditions with a confident drive and an opening stage lead of some 12 seconds became 48 after the first loop. He went on to accrue an advantage of over a minute after six stages.
Jennings clipped a rock and punctured on the penultimate stage but had enough of a cushion to take the spoils, he was also quickest through the Power Stage.
The Group N showroom category was won by Shane Maguire.
