Martin and Murray Crowned Flying Fifteen Champions

2nd August 2010
Martin and Murray Crowned Flying Fifteen Champions
50 degree wind shifts, abandoned races or even a massive starting line bias could not stop Strangford's Darren Martin and Simony Murray from a string of consistent results at this weekend's Flying Fifteen Championship of Ireland on Belfast Lough.

The Northern pairing posted a credible third and a first in massively shifting light winds yesterday to clinch the Irish title in a 30 boat fleet. Dubliners John Lavery and David O'Brien were second. Third was Brian McKee and Steven Martin also of Strangford Lough. Full Results HERE.
