All had been going well and preparations were at an advanced stage when Owen hurt his back.
He has been seeing a chiropractor since and it's a case of one day good and the next day in a lot of discomfort. His chiropractor has said that he wouldn't last the day in the car. Owen said "I went to get into the car the other night and had a lot of trouble getting back out. I am really sick about this but stuff happens and my chiropractor is confident that with a little time, it will sort itself out.
He will be back for Round Two in Carrick-on-Suir.
Hankook are back on board as main sponsor for another season and Owen and James are confident of some good results later in the year. (Photo: Ger Leahy Photography).
