Another major National accolade for Eileen.

Friday, December 11, 2015
There was National recognition for the achievements of Ballymena Road Club’s multi championship winner and Irish 10 miles time trial record holder Eileen Burns last Saturday evening.
In 2014 Eileen was named as Ballymena’s adult sportsperson of the year.
This time Eileen was named as Irish cycling’s female rider of the year. This was mainly in recognition of her beating the Irish record for the 10 miles time trial. Eileen established a new record of 20 minutes 22 seconds on a Humberside course in September.  
A delighted Eileen said. "I attended the Cycling Ireland awards last Saturday night in the Crowne Plaza hotel in Dublin. I won the best domestic based Irish female rider. This is a national award which is voted for by cycling Ireland licence holders. I was nominated by Cycling Ulster with voting taking place from the 5th-17th November. Many thanks to everyone who voted for me.”
