Eugene Donnelly secured his second successive Ulster Rally victory on Saturday afternoon.

The Maghera driver won by just over a minute from Eamonn Boland, with Gary Jennings from Fermanagh in third.

Peadar Hurson was in second when he was forced to retire three stages from the end after getting stuck on a bank.

Gwyndaf Evans won Group N to claim maximum British Championship points after a long battle with Mark Higgins, who had a puncture late in the rally.

Gareth Jones finished fourth with Evans and Higgins completing the top six.

World Junior Rally star Kris Meeke saw his hopes end on stage eight - the Dungannon man got stuck in a hedge and lost five minutes.

Donnelly and Boland will go to Cork in four weeks time to settle the Irish Tarmac Championship.
