Dermot Brosnan put in a huge performance to finish third in his caegory. Dermot has been putting in consistent performances all season, and his podium placing was not overdue. Pat Mc Hugh and Emmet Fennel also represented the club on the days. The lads all put in impressive performances, on what was a very testing course. The next round of the league takes place in Upperchurch Drombane on the 25th November 2018. Over The Hill Cycling Club will hold a cyclocross event at Ballindenisk Watergrasshill on the 16th December 2018.

There was a coffee stop at the greengrocer in Castlemartyr, with members being treated like royalty as usual. The Sunday spin headed to Carrigtwohill via Leamlara. The 42km loop was enjoyed by all cyclists.
