Garry Jennings and Rory Kennedy winners of the Joule Donegal International Rally 2015.
Kesh man Garry Jennings swept to victory in the Joule Donegal International Rally over the weekend.
In just his first run out this season Jennings took his Subaru WRC to a well-deserved win with a relentless drive which saw him 67 seconds clear of his nearest challenger.
