Big Easter Monday Wins For McNeice and Murray |
 |
An outstanding Easter Monday of racing at Aghadowey Oval saw Randalstown’s Sam McNeice win the feature race of the afternoon, The Alan Connolly Memorial Trophy for Stock Rods. In the National Hot Rods formula, Galgorm ace Shane Murray reeled off a faultless hat-trick of wins to take the spoils in World Series NI Round 12, whilst Suffolk’s Mason Carberry successfully defended the King of Aghadowey title from a packed field of Ninja Karts. The other feature races fell to Portadown’s Nigel Jackson in the Lightning Rods and Glenavy’s Joe Largey in the Thunder Rods.
A healthy field of Stock Rods, including Scottish and Republic of Ireland visitors, took to the grid to contest the Alan Connolly Memorial Trophy, held annually on Easter Monday in memory of the champion driver from Ballymoney. Jonny Cardwell relieved early leader Adam Sloan of the lead in the opening heat, Jonny powering home to the win ahead of Sloan and Dan Shannon. The reversed grid heat two saw European Champion Robbie Armit take a flag to flag win ahead of Irish Champion Mark Crawford and Darragh O’Shea.
The final paired Shannon and Scotsman Dean McGill on the front row, with Dan taking up the running until Cardwell found a gap inside him into the Brown Trout Bend to hit the front. Many eyes were now on Sam McNeice as he made great strides towards the front, nipping past McGill to go second before pulling the same move on Cardwell to grab the lead. Sam romped home to a great success, with Cardwell and Crawford completing the line up after a competitive afternoon of racing.
Ahoghill’s Philip McCloy was the first to show in the opening National Hot Rods heat, before Shane Murray blasted ahead in his Ginetta. Murray took the win ahead of Derek McMillan and Jordan McCann, after Adam Maxwell was dropped from second to fourth by the Stewards for contact. Murray repeated the feat in heat two, this time mastering the changeable track conditions to win ahead of Simon Kennedy and Ian Riordan.
Kennedy set the pace early in the final on what was now a dry track, but Murray was again to be the master as he swooped past on the high outside line to take the lead and complete a faultless hat-trick for the afternoon. Kennedy, Scotsman James Mooney and McCann completed the major places.

A huge field of 35 Ninja Karts from right across the British Isles arrived to chase the King of Aghadowey title. Norfolk’s Elliott Lake won the opening heat for England, ahead of Eddie Fowler and defending Champion Mason Carberry. Heat two again saw Lake take the win as he impressed for a second time, with Jordan Davis and Rowdy Grattan next home. The final qualifier fell to another Norfolk driver, George Cooper from Ralph Payne and Jaxon York in an all-England top three.
The final was a superb race with all 35 karts taking the green flag this time. Cooper and York had a great battle out front, before Carberry surged past to the lead to take the win and successfully defend his crown. English drivers again dominated proceedings with Cooper in second followed by Finley Weston, Tyler Ward and York.
The Lightning Rods were contesting the final meeting of the 2024/25 NI Points Championship campaign, with Nigel Jackson doing his chances a power of good with the win in heat one over Stuart Agnew and Ross Houston. Mark Corry then took a controlled win in heat two ahead of Feargal McNally and Agnew, to leave the points title on a knife edge going into the final.
Corry led early on but it was Jackson who surged through to take the win in some style and with it the NI Points title, with Houston, Corry and Conor Doherty the placemen in the feature race.
The all action Thunder Rods completed the programme, with Brandon Kernohan hitting the front in heat one before he was removed for trailing bodywork. That left Mark McLaughlin out front until a superb outside pass by Adam McKinney saw him pip Mark to the win on the final lap. Heat two was a very ill-tempered affair, but this time McLaughlin held on all the way home to take the victory over James Goldie and Joshua McMullan.
The final was another scrappy but entertaining race, with Kernohan and then James Steele setting the pace. McLaughlin squeezed past Steele to the lead but in doing so caught the eye of the Stewards, and when he took the flag he was demoted two places to third in the final analysis. That handed victory to former Stock Rods star Joe Largey ahead of Steele.
