Coleraine Premier HPS 2022 report -

Russell McAlary has asked me to express his gratitude to Ronald McCandless for all the invaluable help that he has given him all year. Russell has done a fantastic job as race secretary as I’m sure the members will agree. Take a bow Russell, brilliant work.

The members of Coleraine Premier should be very proud of themselves for the fantastic performances they have put up in the Section and Open of the NIPA. This is a very competitive club and very hard to win. Top dog this year again is Jimmy Hanson who had a fantastic season winning 9 races and Section A 3 times plus a host of other Section and Open positions. Other club members have performed admirably with Section wins and brilliant Open positions. Diamond Bros & McLauglin and S Diamond won the Section 3 times each, B &D Coyle, L Hanson & Son, and Trevor McDonald all won the Section, totalling 12 x 1st Section wins. I have only covered Section wins and the Club winners Section and Open Positions but a further look into NIPA results will give you a deeper insight to the fantastic performances put up by members of this club
