Leading from start to finish, Donegal cousins Declan and Brian Boyle were the clear winners of the Rose Hotel Circuit of Kerry Rally based in Tralee.

This was the second round of the Triton Showers National Rally Championship and after seven stages, the former title holders were 44 seconds ahead of the Tipperary/Cork pairing of Roy White and James O'Brien in another Ford Fiesta, with Peadar Hurson and Damien Connolly third in their Impreza.

Second place for White and O'Brien, plus maximum points on the Power Stage, give them a narrow one point lead in this year's National series ahead of Hurson and Connolly.

The Group N award went to Paul Barrett and Declan Tumilty in a Subaru Impreza while the two wheel drive award was won by Ryan Loughran and Tony Healy. In the Junior section the winners were Gary McNamee and Kieran O'Donoghue in a Honda Civic.
