2026 Patland Cup Trial Awards

The 97th running of the Patland Cup hosted by Leinster Motor Club did not disappoint!

Glorious Spring sunshine greeted over 55 riders as they made their way around the base of Sugarloaf mountain for 3 laps of 13 challenging sections. There was a good mix of the classic Patland sections that have greeted riders for generations along with new lines and challenges that the marking team from Leinster Motor Club had put in.

We welcomed many of our friends from the North who made their trip down for their first Patland Trial. Great to see everyone and delighted you enjoyed the challenge.

There was a good mix of modern, pre 95's and pre 65's bikes on the course and a good turnout of spectators on some of the sections who really appreciated seeing the machines and pilots in action.

Thank you to the team from Leinster Motor Club, officials, course markers and the Observers without whom it wouldn't be possible to run competitions. Everyone giving up their valuable time to volunteer is greatly appreciated by all the Clubs and the MCI Trials Committee.
