Connors Snatches Kerrygold Grand Prix League Final

WATERFORD'S FRANCIS Connors is the outright winner of the 2002 Kerrygold Grand Prix League, racking up enough points from a Second Place at Rolestown, Co. Dublin today (Sunday) to overtake long-time league leader Conor Swail from Co. Down, and win the overall prize of 6,700 Euro.

Though Swail built up a healthy lead from early in the season, and seemed almost unassailable in his bid for the title by mid-summer, steady successes from Francis Connors in the dying months of the League rocketed him up the leaderboard until just six points separated him from Conor Swail's impressive tally of 105 after Iverk's Grand Prix on Thursday.

Today at Rolestown, however, Connors piloted <Who's Business As Usual> into Second Place, gaining eight points and a total League score of 107. He therefore beats Conor Swail by just two points.

Rolestown winner Lt. Shane Carey took 10 points today, which brings him up to Third Place in the League final.
