Maiden City Stages winner Desi Henry had to endure a nervous end to round three of the Northern Ireland Rally Championship when his Citroen C3 Rally2 developed a misfire on the very last stage.

The issue raised its head not far from the start of the ‘Colhouns Dip 2’ test but, rather than nurse the French car to the end, he pushed on and emerged a comfortable winner by almost 15 seconds.
