Connors Threatens Swail's Leadership Of Grand Prix League

WATERFORD'S FRANCIS Connors again upped his bid to topple Conor Swail from the top spot of the Kerrygold Grand Prix League at Iverk, Co. Kilkenny today (Thursday) with a win and a place.

And with only one Grand Prix remaining - Rolestown in North County Dublin on Sunday - the two contenders will be facing a needle match of epic proportions.

Swail, after an exceptional run of successes early in the 2002 Kerrygold League, holds 105 points, but Connors' placings today bring him into touching distance, with 99 points.

Rolestown's results, therefore, will be the final decider between the two riders, as a win by Connors, and a bad placing by Swail, could change the top spot on the leaderboard completely.

With the Kerrygold Grand Prix League title at stake, though, Co.Down's Conor Swail will be jumping to retain his lead and increase his score beyond Connors' reach.
