Irish Motocross Championship in Ferns

Sunday, 15th May sees round 3 of the MCUI / G&G Ross Irish National Motocross Championship come to Ferns Motocross Park. Our historic County Wexford town is no stranger to hosting top class motocross action with the National Series regularly stopping off here.
The field will include British Championship riders, championship regulars and local riders which should make this race one of the most exciting events of the year.
In the Premier MX1 class, where riders compete on 450cc four-stroke machines, it’s the Antrim pairing of Wayne Garrett and Tommy Merton setting the pace. Garrett has been very hard to beat on his KTM 450 but Kawasaki’s Merton has the experience needed for a championship fight. The local challenge in the MX1 class will come in the form of Mervyn Griffin who has found form following a switch to his favoured Honda machinery.
The Premier MX2 class, where riders have a little less displacement on 250cc machines, has another Northern Irish rider leading the series in the form of Jason Garrett. Unfortunately Jason had a freak crash last week resulting in a broken wrist and a broken bone in his neck. This will count the Lisburn man out of Ferns but two local riders looking to capitalise are Michael Mahon and Jim O’Neill who lie in 2nd and 3rd respectively. Brittas based Mahon and Camolin’s O’Neill are both riding for the VMX KTM team and both are very familiar with the Ferns circuit so expect tight racing.
2011 is turning out to be a fantastic year for motocross fans. It’s hard to recall the last time there were as many riders on the start line with the potential of winning.
Racing will start at 11.30am Sunday morning; the track is signposted for the main street (N11) in Ferns. Admission is only €5 with children under 12 getting in free. A map providing details on the venue is available under the “Track Location” tab above.
