Ballymena Road Club’s ladies’ champion Eileen Burns took part in last weekend’s Omagh three day race for fourth category seniors and ladies.
Eileen was guesting on the Bann Valley team for the event.
Not only did she win all four stages in the ladies section she also finished ninth overall from 129, mainly male, competitors.
Her best result came in the 2.5 miles individual time trial where a time of 5 minutes 28 seconds earned her fourth place on the stage. 
Eileen finished with the front group in each of the three road race stages to secure a memorable ninth place on overall GC, just 49 seconds behind the winner, and of course she won the coveted pink jersey as first female overall.
